(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, JAN 29 - Germany's parliament narrowly passed a resolution Wednesday urging tough restrictions on immigration that was especially controversial because it was backed by the far-right AfD. The motion was brought, ahead of February 23 elections, by the conservative opposition CDU-CSU and backed by, among others, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. That broke a long-standing taboo on cooperation with the anti-immigration party. MPs passed it with 348 votes in favour and 345 against, with 10 abstentions. The vote came days after a knife attack that killed two people, including a two-year-old child, with an Afghan man arrested at the scene. The resolution lacks the force of law but calls on the government to launch permanent border controls and for the "rejection of all attempts to enter the country illegally without exception".
