Nazis need not apply: 'German anti-immigration party AfD does not endorse xenophobia'

Criticism of the AfD as a “Nazi party” has to end now, nobody can say that anymore without ridiculing himself, Peter Boehringer a deputy spokesman for AfD told RT. He added that the anti-immigration party is willing to work with other political groups.

Angela Merkel's CDU party got a wake-up call from german voters on Sunday in the chancellor's home state. While the ruling Social Democrats held on to the leading spot, Merkel's conservatives came in third behind AfD.

Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has attracted just 19 percent of the votes, compared to 23 percent in the 2011 elections. The ruling Socialist Democratic Party (SPD) garnered 30 percent, a 5 percent drop from four years ago.

AfD is now positioning itself for seats in the Bundestag next year.
