French far-right National Rally splits with Germany's AfD

The main far-right party of France says it will no longer align with its erstwhile German allies, the AfD, in the EU parliament. This followed comments by the AfD’s top candidate about the Nazi SS paramilitary force

France’s main far-right party National Rally (RN) on Tuesday said it would no longer work alongside the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the European Parliament.

RN said it would create some distance from the German party after comments by the AfD’s top candidate about the Nazi SS paramilitary force in the run-up to June’s EU elections.

Marine Le Pen’s RN tops French polls just two over weeks away from the EU election and is tipped to comfortably beat President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist coalition.

hannes3120,

I don’t think it’s serious - they just know that they have their right wing supporters safe already and try to gain more votes in the center by looking more moderate
