German Chancellor Merz:
I want to say this again very clearly, including to those in our party who sometimes flirt with the idea of cooperating with a party that calls itself an alternative to Germany.
When we see a party that tolerates neo-Nazis in its ranks, that wants to leave the Euro, the European Union and NATO, and that shows contempt for our institutions, then one thing must be absolutely clear to us: we will not cooperate with such a party.
We have nothing in common.
