A co-leader of Germany's Alternative for Germany party criticized the leader of France's Rassemblement National on Wednesday after the French politician expressed agreement with the German chancellor on immigration. The AfD co-leader responded that the French politician should focus on becoming president rather than commenting on German affairs.
The AfD was removed from the European Parliament's Identity and Democracy group last year after an AfD lawmaker made comments minimizing the crimes of Nazi Germany's SS. The AfD is also leading in German polls, while the German chancellor's ratings have declined since taking office last year amid economic challenges and coalition difficulties.
