Left: The coverage focuses on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's strong condemnation of the far-right AfD party, accusing them of promoting 'ethnic cleansing' and his subsequent cancellation of a call with Donald Trump.
Center: Reports highlight the political fallout from the AfD's electoral success, including Merz's clashes with the party and concerns from Poland about Germany's re-armament.
Right: The AfD faction filed a criminal complaint against Merz for his 'ethnic cleansing' remarks, framing his statements as unacceptable and criminal.
Key divergence: While most sources focus on Merz's strong stance against the AfD and the political repercussions, the AfD's perspective is presented as a counter-accusation against Merz's rhetoric.
