The far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) group in the European Parliament has decided to expel Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. This action comes as a result of controversial remarks regarding SS soldiers made by the AfD. Although specifics of the comments have not been provided, they were most likely offensive or inappropriate, causing significant backlash and leading to this expulsion. The ID group comprises multiple far-right parties from various European countries, generally promoting anti-immigration policies, Euroscepticism, and national sovereignty. The removal of the AfD can potentially lead to shifts in the group’s power dynamics and influence within the European Parliament.
