Wagenknecht: "The invitation also applies to the AfD"
"BSW founder Sahra Wagenknecht has once again expressed her openness to talks about government options in Saxony-Anhalt. She is also willing to speak with the AfD."

Dear American friends & followers,

Donald Trump is DANGEROUS 😳
By praising the #AfD, he lit up a "help wanted sign" for every White Supremacist, RWNJ, and Fascist Thug in the #UnitedStates

"Defeating Fascists is easier at the ballot box than on the Battlefield"

Trump: “Wow! The Populist Party in Germany just had a really big night. They finally got tired of the absolutely horrible Immigration rules and regulations which have hurt Germany so badly. THEY ARE ON THE RISE, and not going to take it anymore! MGGA!!! President DJT”

"David Adler, co-general coordinator of the Progressive International, wrote that the election “sent a clear message, to Germany as to all of Europe, that the far-right rampage is not slowing down, but accelerating instead.”"
