AfD announces defamation lawsuit against Friedrich Merz for comparison of remigration to ethnic cleansing

SIC Notícias11 September 2026 at 13:15

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party announced it will file a defamation lawsuit against the leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Friedrich Merz. The action was motivated by Merz's statements comparing the concept of remigration to ethnic cleansing.

The far-right party considers Merz's statements about remigration to be criminally reprehensible and unacceptable. The party maintains that the CDU politician's affirmations constitute defamation against the party.

The controversy arises at a time of tensions between German parties regarding the debate on immigration and migration policies in Germany. Remigration is a term used by right-wing groups to refer to policies that would encourage foreigners to leave the country.

Porto considers it "fair" that the State financially helps future works in health centers

The Porto City Council considers it "fair" that the State co-finances future rehabilitation works in the municipality's health centers. The council had already identified, in 2024, several health centers whose rehabilitation could apply to the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), but ended up dropping some applications due to the too short deadlines imposed by the program. The mayor, Rui Moreira, defended the need for state support for these interventions, highlighting that the municipality cannot bear alone all the costs of requalifying health infrastructures.
