German chancellor skeptical about possible ban on AfD

Observador9 September 2026 at 21:02

Friedrich Merz, German chancellor, expressed skepticism about a possible ban on the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD). The politician rejected the idea of outlawing the party and argued that the fight must be carried out through political means.

Merz considered that a ban would not solve the problems that underlie the support the AfD receives from its voters. In his view, it is necessary to confront ideologically the issues that motivate citizens to vote for the far-right party.

This position arises in a context of debate about the viability and consequences of a possible outlawing of the AfD in Germany. The German chancellor thus chose to prioritize the democratic and political path to address the party's growth.

Ceuta: Spanish government emphasizes there was no report or official alert

The Spanish Government reiterated on Wednesday that it did not receive any report or official alert from the National Intelligence Center (CNI) about the migratory crisis in Ceuta in July, maintaining that no one predicted the magnitude of what occurred. The Government's delegate in Ceuta, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, emphasized that the exchanges of information via WhatsApp between a CNI member and his office do not constitute an official alert, because when the CNI has a formal alert, it issues it in a "sealed envelope" addressed to ministries. Declassified documents reveal that the CNI alerted Morocco and Spanish authorities, on July 29, about calls on social media with 180,000 followers urging an assault on Ceuta's fence the following day, but the intelligence services guarantee that they did not anticipate the dimension that the crisis would come to have, with more than 70,000 people entering the Spanish enclave illegally.

Government wants to make medium-term expenditure limits the basis for the following year's Budget

The Portuguese Government delivered to Parliament a proposal to revise the Budget Framework Law (LEO) that aims to make medium-term expenditure limits the basis for the following year's State Budget, providing greater stability and budgetary predictability. The revision, which adapts the law to the new EU economic governance framework, establishes that the Medium-Term National Structural Budgetary Plan becomes the structure for budgetary policy, with expenditure limits being binding in the following year. The proposal also includes strengthening the powers of the Public Finance Council, which now requires the Executive to comply with its assessments or publicly explain its position within two months. The phased implementation of the State Accounting Entity should be completed by the 2029 Budget.
