The Identity and Democracy (ID) group in the European Parliament has expelled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party following scandals involving AfD's lead candidate Maximilian Krah, including allegations of espionage and controversial comments about the Nazi era. This move, influenced by pressure from other right-wing parties like France's National Rally, could have significant financial repercussions for the AfD.
Maximilian Krah, an incumbent EU Parliament member, has been elected to lead the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's 2024 European Union election campaign. The AfD, which has seen a surge in popularity, aims to capitalize on discontent with the ruling coalition and a weakening economy. The party has already strengthened ties with other European far-right parties and expects to have as many as 20 parliamentarians in the European Parliament. The AfD's success has been particularly notable in East Germany, where it hopes to secure further victories in the upcoming elections.
