GERMANY’S parliament rejected legislation yesterday calling for stricter immigration rules.

MPs cast 338 votes in favour, but there were 350 against and five abstentions.

This followed a non-binding vote earlier this week, which passed with the support of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, provoking mass protests.
