Excluding the AfD MPs from the ID faction does not make them any less dangerous
Vienna (OTS) – “The entire ID group in the European Parliament is characterized by an anti-European and anti-democratic attitude and can potentially be classified as part of the right-wing extremist milieu. The problem is not solved by excluding the AfD MPs as a reaction to unpleasant reporting,” explains Thomas Waitz, head of the European Green Party and second place on the Green Party list for the EU election on the exclusion of the AfD MPs by the ID parliamentary group , as the German Press Agency reports.
“The exclusion of the AfD does not make the ID faction any less dangerous. It doesn’t change the inflammatory, right-wing attitude of the entire ID faction, which also includes the FPÖ. That LePen and co. “The people who are now distancing themselves from the AfD must not hide their nationalist, anti-European and Putin-friendly stance,” says Lena Schilling, the Green Party’s top candidate for exclusion and further: “I appeal to the pro-European forces with us as a fire builder against right-wing agitation in the EU. To build a parliament and to consistently position ourselves against any right-wing extremist and anti-democratic sentiments. Anyone who wants to destroy Europe cannot work for Europe.”
