Opposition leader Friedrich Merz pledges to bring a law on restoring border controls before parliament this week .

Merz said it would be the fault of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats and Greens if they let it be carried with the support of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Merz 's proposal for a restoration of permanent border controls within the European Union's Schengen passport-free travel zone was unworkable.
