Not everything National Rally wants to achieve possible with Emmanuel Macron as president, Bardella says
Beatrix von Storch, deputy leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany, has downplayed the controversies surrounding the party’s lead candidate in the European election and insisted that the AfD is now more powerful than Germany’s chancellor.
Maximilian Krah resigned from the AfD leadership in May after his comment that the SS, the Nazis’ main paramilitary force, were “not all criminals” fuelled outrage.
Well he was just excluded from the group, so he will not join the AfD group in the parliament, and so that’s over, and we could come and talk about what led AfD to be the second-biggest party in Germany, the strongest in the east, the strongest within the working class people, the strongest with the young people.
People don’t care so much about these things. Yes, we had a problem with that person. We took the decision to exclude him from our group, and so let’s move on forward.
You are trying to focus on one person. You’re talking to the deputy chair of the second-biggest party in Germany. We are stronger than the chancellor.
