Far-right party wins seats in German parliament for first time in decades
Tehran (KNA) - The co-founder of the first far-right party to win seats in Germany's parliament in almost 60 years has declared that it is ready to "take back our country and our people."
nti-Muslim, Alternative for Germany (AfD), gave the warning after his party was projected to come in third place in Sunday's national election, according preliminary results. The result, which puts the AfD at just over 13%, was described by leading party figures as a "political earthquake." Gauland promised his party would provide staunch opposition to the new government, likely led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, adding: "We will hunt them. we will hunt Mrs. Merkel or whomever. And we will take back our country and our people." Support for the AfD grew quickly following the arrival of more than a million refugees in Germany in 2015.
