@Tacitus
More lies by you.
With your argumentation you say Hitler, Honecker and other tyrants should also have been respected as representatives.
Merkel is my servant. Thats her job as chancellor. She made an oath to serve Germany and its people. She has no other rank than the garbage man, the nurse or any other public servant.
As for the rest f your bullshit.
MAjority of Germans is against Merkels madness

majority of Germans wants that migrants get stopped at borders
Over 49% dont trust Merkel in migration policiy.
And thats the thing. A powerful AfD is needed to scare the system parties. To remember them who they have to serve and to expose their lies.
The Afd forced Merkel and her minions to leave her genocidal, anti german politics. You could see how disgusted she was when she was forced aside. It felt good to see her lose power. Now she is a nobody. A lame duck. Inside Germany AKK distances herself from Merkels madness. Eastern German CDU politicians say she should not come, since her presence "is not helpful". The new JU leader said he is against Merkel.
In foreign politics she has become powerless as well. She is not present anymore. She has become isolated like a virus.
Merkels most important thing is her renomee. And it feels good to see how bad she is treated. You see how it gnaws on her. She looks like Hitler in his last days in the Bunker.

As for the Greens, they have some good ones. Like Boris Palmer who is 100% correct.
