00:00
Top European AFD candidate Maximilian Krah has been ousted from the newly elected European
00:05
Parliament delegation, which is now to be led by René Aust.
00:10
Krah has been excluded as the AFD seeks to rejoin the ID group in Brussels, after Marine
00:15
Le Pen suggested expelling the AFD for being too extreme.
00:19
The location of Germany is eroding in international comparison. We are no longer viable. People
00:26
are afraid of their future, because politics can no longer answer the most urgent questions
00:36
of this time.
00:37
CDU emerged as the winning party on Sunday night, but the AFD performed particularly
00:42
well amongst young voters. Political scientist Dr Antonio Souros says part of the AFD's success
00:48
can be attributed to their successful social media campaign.
00:52
What the government, the governing parties could change is that they try to not compete
00:59
with each other in the media and in public. I mean, this is something Germans in general
01:04
don't like. They don't like this competition in the media or fighting in the media, what
01:09
the parties did. And also they must think about policy solutions to problems, I think.
01:17
It's getting to be more important, it's getting more important for them to explain their policies,
01:21
especially for the Chancellor himself, to explain policies to the Germans and to explain
01:27
his stances. But of course, it will be very tough, because you have the state elections
01:31
coming up, don't look that good for the governing parties.
01:37
Despite the Social Democrat's historic defeat at the European elections, German Chancellor
01:43
Olaf Scholz has ruled out calling an early snap election. AFD co-chair Alice Weidel said
01:50
the party has set its sights on becoming the new ruling government at the 2025 federal
01:57
elections next year. Liv Stroud, in Berlin, for Euronews.
