德国选择党禁止领先候选人马克西米利安·克拉参加欧洲选举活动。 Germany's AfD party bans lead candidate Maximilian Krah from EU election events.

德国极右翼选择党禁止其主要候选人马克西米利安·克拉赫参加欧盟选举活动，原因是他爆出一系列丑闻，包括他曾评论纳粹主要准军事力量党卫军“并非全是罪犯”。 Germany's far-right AfD party has banned its lead candidate, Maximilian Krah, from EU election campaign events due to a series of scandals, including his comments that the SS, the Nazi's main paramilitary force, were "not all criminals." 由于被指控与俄罗斯和中国有联系，且国内法院裁定德国选择党可能因是极端主义政党而受到监视，该党目前正受到严格​​审查。 The party is under scrutiny after allegations of links to Russia and China, and a domestic court ruling that AfD could be under surveillance as a potentially extremist party. 这些丑闻导致法国极右翼政党国民联盟与其决裂，该党还宣布将不再与德国选择党一起在欧洲议会任职。 These scandals have led to a break with French far-right party, Rassemblement National, which announced it would no longer sit with the AfD in the European Parliament.
