BERLIN - An Alternative for Germany lawmaker known for his strident criticism of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s liberal immigration policies has decided to run for the leadership of the far-right party, complicating a fight over its future.
He will run against Tino Chrupalla, a lawmaker from the eastern state of Saxony favored by senior AfD members, a party official said. The AfD leadership is currently shared by Alexander Gauland, a 78-year-old patriarchal figure seen as a unifying force, and Joerg Meuthen, a European Parliament lawmaker.
“Gauland would win re-election hands down,” the lawmaker said. “But he prefers to step down given his age and health. He might have to reconsider if he feels Curio has a good chance.”
