突发，坚决主张没收欧洲俄罗斯资产的默茨在国内挨了当头一棒。

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the push for confiscating Russian assets in Europe to aid affected regions has faced significant setbacks, particularly for the German politician Merz, who has been advocating for this measure [1][3]. - The German parliament rejected the proposal to confiscate frozen Russian assets, with only 77 out of 630 members supporting it, indicating a strong opposition primarily due to fears of retaliation from Russia [3]. - Concerns among German lawmakers stem from the potential impact on businesses that still operate in Russia, which could face confiscation of assets as a form of retaliation, a sentiment echoed by other countries like Belgium, France, and Italy [3]. Group 2 - The confiscation of Russian assets would effectively mean using European assets for aid, as Russia would likely retaliate by seizing EU assets in Russia, raising legal and ethical concerns [4]. - Merz, known for his strong anti-Russian stance, has faced embarrassment with his failed attempts to rally support both domestically and internationally [4]. - In the long term, post-war, capital is expected to flow into regions with development potential, and the Russian market is seen as a vacuum that Western capital may seek to enter, suggesting that antagonizing Russia may not serve the long-term interests of European businesses [4].
