Nigel Farage backs far-right AfD for 'historic' German election success

The former Ukip leader Nigel Farage has endorsed the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the runup to the German federal elections, saying it would be a “historic achievement” if the party entered the Bundestag.“For the first time in modern history, there will be a voice of opposition in German parliament,” the South East England MEP told an audience of AfD supporters at a closed event at the Spandau Citadel, a renaissance fortress in west Berlin.
