Alternative for Germany has sights on power despite firewall – MEP | Radio Schuman
Far-right German MEP René Aust speaks to Euronews three days before Germans vote in an election considered pivotal for the country’s future.
Is the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) poised to rule the country?
The party has its sights set on it, despite a political firewall cordoning it off from power, lawmaker belonging to the party René Aust has told Euronews reporter Vincenzo Genovese in an interview.
This is despite all mainstream parties in Germany ruling out any cooperation with AfD after Sunday’s ballot, meaning its prospects of entering a governing coalition are non-existent.
Trump’s billionaire aide Elon Musk has also outspokenly voiced support for AfD and its leader Alice Weidel. His attempts to wade into German politics have outraged mainstream parties.
