Despite the exclusion of Maximilian Krah from its own delegation, the ID group in the European Parliament still does not want the AfD in its ranks. This was decided by the representatives of the ID group.
The right-wing ID group in the EU Parliament does not want to accept the AfD back for the time being, despite the exclusion of the controversial MP Maximilian Krah from its parliamentary delegation. The spokesman for AfD co-leader Alice Weidel confirmed a corresponding report in the magazine “Politico” on Thursday. The head of the French Rassemblement National, Marine Le Pen, and other ID representatives made this decision at a meeting in Brussels.
Controversial SS statements by Krah lead to exclusion from AfD
After Krah made controversial statements about the National Socialist SS, the ID group in the European Parliament excluded the AfD group shortly before the European elections. In order to be able to rejoin the party, the newly elected AfD MPs decided by a majority on the Monday after the election not to include Krah in their delegation.
Krah described this as a mistake and predicted that it would not change the ID’s mind. The AfD should not allow a foreign party to dictate who it will run with, said Krah.
