German anti-euro party poised to gain ground

  • 11 years ago
Germany's anti-euro AfD party could capture seats in parliament in Sunday's general election and diminish Chancellor Angela Merkel's chances of holding on to her centre-right coalition, according to a new poll. The Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), founded by a professor who believes the single European currency is a disastrous money pit for Germany, scored five percent in the poll by independent institute Insa on Thursday.
