the RN asked for a “written commitment” from the AfD so that this project would never be part of the program of the German far-right party

The National Rally (RN) requested a “written commitment” guaranteeing that “remigration” will never be part of the AfD program, assures France Inter Thibaut François, RN deputy from the North.

RN President Jordan Bardella and MP Marine Le Pen had lunch on Tuesday with Alice Weidel, the co-president of the AfD, a German far-right party and ally of the RN in the European Parliament. However, in January, Marine Le Pen distanced herself from the AfD, accused of having presented a plan for the mass expulsion of foreigners and “non-assimilated citizens”. Wishing that “things are extremely clear”the head of the RN deputies then declared that she was “totally disagree with the proposal”.

“I consider that we have, if that is the case, a blatant opposition with the AfD. And we will be led to discuss the differences, and see whether these differences have or do not have consequences on the capacity that we have to ally ourselves in the same group”, Marine Le Pen also explained. Since then, relations have been known to be tense between the two parties in the European Parliament.
