The political landscape in Germany is heating up as the Alternative for Germany (AfD) accuses the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of stealing its core themes, particularly on migration.

CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann denies these claims, stating that the party is focused on its own agenda.

The AfD, feeling threatened by the CDU's promises, argues that the CDU misleads voters by failing to implement key policies.

Meanwhile, the CDU faces challenges in the upcoming elections, especially regarding its stance on Ukraine aid, which is crucial for gaining support in eastern regions like Saxony and Thuringia.

As tensions rise, the political rivalry intensifies, with both parties vying for the same voter base.
