These remarks triggered widespread condemnation, leading to the expulsion of the party from the far-right coalition. The decision underlines the commitment of the European Parliament to uphold anti-fascist principles and reject any form of hate speech or revisionist interpretation of history. The AfD is the largest opposition party in Germany with strong anti-immigration and Eurosceptic views. The expulsion could potentially influence the party’s political influence and reach within the European Parliament.
