Comic show After criticism of Merz: Wolfgang Kubicki makes fun of Angela Merkel Article by editorial team • 1 hour • 1 minute reading time The vote of the CDU/CSU faction on Wednesday continues to have an impact. After the former Chancellor and then CDU chairwoman Angela Merkel spoke out about the motion, Wolfgang Kubicki has now also joined in and made fun of Merkel's interference. Merkel describes the CDU's motion as "wrong" The Bundestag Vice President and FDP politician is one of the supporters of Friedrich Merz's motion, which received a majority on Wednesday from the CDU, CSU, FDP and AfD. The SPD and the Greens, on the other hand, voted against it by a majority. The motion is primarily about a change in migration policy, as Merz emphasized. Merkel described the motion as wrong. "I think it is wrong to no longer feel bound by this proposal and thereby knowingly enable a majority with the votes of the AfD for the first time in a vote in the German Bundestag on January 29, 2025," it said in a statement. Wolfgang Kubicki mocks Merkel: "Greetings from South Africa?" Wolfgang Kubicki wrote ironically in response to a headline on Twitter/X: "Greetings from South Africa? 'The vote must be reversed'". He is referring to the election of FDP politician Thomas Kemmerich, who was elected as the new Prime Minister of Thuringia in 2020 with votes from the AfD. Merkel then reported from South Africa and announced that the result "must be reversed". After a few days, that is what happened. In 2022, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that Merkel had violated the rights of the AfD and violated the principle of equal opportunities for the parties.
