Merz was cruising to become Chancellor with very little movement in the polls. I wonder whether this was not only a historic norm violation but also a spectacular own goal.

Breaking this taboo - and his own word from only weeks ago - also invites questions of whether he might rely on AfD support after the election. This should provide a powerful argument for the SPD and Greens, and focusing the election campaign on immigration issues likely benefits the AfD.
