Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBERLIN, Germany – German Chancellor Angela Merkel says that the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany poses a “big new challenge” with its entry into parliament, as she admits hoping for a better score in the election.
Her center-right CDU won some 32-33 percent of the vote on Sunday, according to exit polls.
“There’s a big new challenge for us, and that is the entry of the AfD in the Bundestag,” says Merkel, adding: “We want to win back AfD voters.”
