Top AfD candidate Krah ousted from the delegation by party MEPs.
"Junge Freiheit" reports that a group of EU parliamentarians took after Nordrhein-Westphalia's MP, Hans Neuhoff, following his application. These lawmakers accused Krah of running campaigns that harmed the party. Rumors claimed Krah received funds from Russia and China. Krah's long-term aide was apprehended on suspicions of spying for China.
Krah was prohibited from making any more campaign appearances in the time leading up to the European polls after a trivializing statement about the SS in an Italian newspaper garnered him negative attention and exclusion from the right-wing ID faction in the European Parliament. Currently, the head of the AfD delegation in Brussels, René Aust, is engaging in discussions with the ID faction, including France's Rassemblement National (RN), on the possibility of reinstating Krah.
