Friedrich Merz , leader of the conservative CDU , teamed up with Alice Weidel of the far-right AfD to pass a motion for stricter immigration laws.

The motion was ultimately rejected by 350 to 338 , but the breaking of a national taboo sparked a wave of outrage.

Merz is the only mainstream politician with a "concrete plan" to tackle migration and shrink the AfD.
