️🇩🇪. Chancellor of Germany Friedrich March:
And I want to say this again very clearly, also to those in our party who sometimes flirt with the idea of cooperating with a party that calls itself an alternative to Germany.
And maybe one or two of you saw it: when the newly elected president of the parliament in Saxony-Anhalt goes to an event held by the radical right-wing magazine Compact a few hours after his election to announce there that during discussions and critical proposals, he will literally shape the chairman of the session in such a way that we alone will manage the meeting, without the colleagues from the CDU.
And when the recently elected vice president of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt goes to the Russian embassy to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday there, he has mugs with the logo of the Russian army in his cabinet. Dear friends, when we see a party that tolerates neo-Nazis in its ranks, that wants to withdraw from the Euro, the European Union and NATO, and despises our institutions, then it must apply to us without a shadow of a doubt: we will not cooperate with such a party, dear friends.
No, there is no common ground.
