European elections: AfD party chief Chrupalla touts "exceptional outcome"

Top candidates of AfD, Maximilian Krah and Petr Bystron, have faced numerous scandals and affairs throughout the election campaign, now dominating the focus. In a recent interview with ARD, co-leader Alice Weidel expressed satisfaction with the party's performance in the final stretch, saying, "The AfD has performed pretty well in the final sprint after a shaky start in the campaign."Weidel added that initial projections indicate AfD as the second-strongest political force in Germany post-election. Although the party has made significant improvements from the last election, it still falls short of the 20% nationwide support it had early this year.

Furthermore, discussing potential partnerships in the European Parliament, Chrupalla shared, "We're reaching out. I'm confident that we'll be part of a faction." The ID faction, consisting of Austrian FPO and Italian Lega, had banned AfD delegates after party leader Maximilian Krah played down some controversial SS references.
