Ex-chancellor Angela Merkel criticizes Friedrich Merz for relying on far-right support on immigration.

Conservative CDU leader Merz pushed through parliament a resolution demanding curbs to immigration.

Centre-left Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his allies the Greens denounced the vote as a breach of a taboo in post-war Germany against any cooperation with extremist parties.

Critics warn that Merz 's manoeuvre would help legitimise the AfD and pave the way for more cooperation.
