After Sunday’s election the far-right party has decided to allow Maximilian Krah and Matthias Helferich to return to the parliamentary group
Two politicians for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) who were sidelined over remarks they made relating to the Nazi era have been welcomed back into its parliamentary group after the party’s historic performance in the German general election.
Maximilian Krah resigned from the AfD’s federal executive board before the European elections last June after telling an Italian newspaper that not all members of Adolf Hitler’s SS had been “automatically criminals”.
