Germany is witnessing widespread protests after the CDU's controversial collaboration with the far-right AfD to pass a migration policy proposal in the Bundestag.

The move, which aims to tighten border controls, has sparked outrage, with tens of thousands demonstrating in cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hannover.

Activists accuse the CDU of breaking its "firewall" against the far-right, with slogans like "Brandmauer fallen" dominating rallies.

The protests have largely been peaceful, but some CDU offices have faced vandalism, including paint attacks and banners condemning the party's actions.

In Hannover, activists occupied a CDU office balcony, while in Hamburg, the party's headquarters was defaced.

CDU leaders have filed complaints, and police are investigating.

Critics, including Green Party leader Robert Habeck, have condemned both the violence and the CDU's alignment with the AfD, calling it a breach of democratic norms.

The CDU defends its stance, emphasizing the need for stricter migration policies.
