A think tank, R21, is reportedly receiving millions in tax funding. This funding is allegedly being used to facilitate potential contacts between the Union and the AfD parties. The funding for R21 was reportedly initiated by Jens Spahn. The think tank is under scrutiny for its alleged role in preparing discussions between the Union and the AfD. This development raises questions about the use of public funds in political party relations. The article suggests a departure from the established "firewall" policy regarding the AfD.
