Far-right German party softens position on possible EU exit
The far-right Alternative for Germany party is calling for Germany to leave the European Union if it isn't reformed, but backed off setting a five-year deadline for action in a European Parliament election platform approved Sunday.
The nationalist and anti-migration Alternative for Germany hopes to increase its representation in the EU legislature in the May 26 election. The party, known by its German acronym AfD, won seven seats in 2014 but currently holds only one after internal divisions saw its other lawmakers leave.
