Far-Right German Party Candidate Resigns After Scandal
AfD's Maximilian Krah Withdraws from European Election
Scandals Surround AfD's Lead Candidate
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has been hit with a major blow as its lead candidate for the European elections, Maximilian Krah, has resigned after being embroiled in a series of scandals.
The scandals, which involve allegations of corruption and sexual misconduct, have rocked the AfD just weeks before the European Parliament elections. The party has already faced criticism for its anti-immigrant and anti-European views, and these new revelations are likely to further damage its reputation.
Krah has denied the allegations against him, but he has said that he is stepping down in order to "protect the party and the European election campaign." The AfD has not yet announced who will replace Krah as its lead candidate.
