The German right-wing extremist AfD leader raises the historical election result of the election

Alice Weidel, the leader of the right -wing extremist Alternative for Germany (AfD), welcomed the best national election result of the party on Sunday after the exit surveys gave 19.5 to 20 percent of the votes.

“We have achieved a historical result”.

She told the ARD television transmitter that “extends our hand” to enter into a coalition government with the conservative CDU/CSU alliance, which, according to exit surveys, came first with at least 28.5 percent.

The CDU leader Friedrich Merz has excluded such an alliance, but caused turmoil in the past month by initiating an application to the parliament that was passed with AfD votes and violated a long-term taboo.

Weidel predicted that the AfD would “overtake” it in the next elections if the CDU continued to refuse to work with its party in order to “implement the will of the people” in four years.
