Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across Germany to protest against CDU lead candidate Friedrich Merz .

Merz presented parliament with proposals for stricter immigration policies, which were supported by the far-right AfD in parts.

The AfD first entered the Bundestag in 2017 , gaining traction after then-Chancellor Angela Merkel ’s decision two years earlier to welcome a large influx of migrants into the country.

Polls indicate that Merz 's center-right bloc, which has championed the migration proposal, leads with around 30% of the vote.
