The Alternative for Germany party helped conservatives push an immigration restriction proposal over the threshold this week, breaking the long-standing “firewall” separating the party from mainstream politics.
AfD voted alongside the center-right Christian Democratic Union of Germany on Wednesday to successfully pass a proposal that could severely restrict asylum and migration policies for the country.
