Will German far right AfD drop scandal-plagued leader in bid to rejoin ID?

from Today in the EU · host Euractiv

Despite a series of recent scandals, Germany's far-right AfD party achieved its best national result in history in the European elections on Sunday (9 June).  However, the internal situation doesn’t look as rosy: AfD's lead candidate Maximilian Krah, implicated in various scandals, will not be included in its EU delegation, as the party hopes this could improve its chances of joining the far-right ID group. But where will we see AfD positioning itself, and how will it impact national and EU politics? To understand what is happening with AfD we invited in the studio Kjeld Neubert, Euractiv’s politics reporter in Berlin.
