Far-Right ID Group in European Parliament Expels AfD Members
Breaking News: Eurosceptic Alliance Fractures
All AfD MEPs Removed from Identity and Democracy Faction
In a stunning development, the far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) group in the European Parliament has expelled all of its members from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The move follows months of tension within the ID group, which has been plagued by ideological and political divisions.
The ID group, which includes far-right parties from across Europe, had initially welcomed the AfD into its ranks in 2019. However, the AfD's increasingly radical rhetoric and its alleged ties to extremist groups have caused growing unease among other members of the group.
The decision to expel the AfD was taken after a vote by ID members on Wednesday. According to sources within the group, the vote was close, with many members expressing concern about the potential consequences of removing the AfD from their ranks.
The expulsion of the AfD from the ID group is a significant blow to the far-right in Europe. It marks the first time that a major far-right party has been expelled from a European Parliament group since the establishment of the EU in 1993.
The move is also likely to have implications for the future of the ID group itself. Without the AfD, the ID group will lose a significant portion of its membership and will likely face difficulties in maintaining its political influence within the European Parliament.
