Germany's government and opposition parties duelled on Monday over rival border control policies, with opposition leader Friedrich Merz, favourite to become next chancellor, saying he would advance his plan with the help of the far right if needed.

German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, head of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has vowed to push for legislation to restore border controls in Germany, even if it means aligning with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. This statement comes amidst ongoing debates about migration and security within Germany. Merz emphasized the urgency of addressing what he perceives as a significant issue, stating that if the current government does not act, the CDU would take the initiative. His comments were made during a speech at a political event in Bavaria, highlighting the increasing political tension and the potential for controversial alliances to influence German policy on border management.
