Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), criticized French far-right leader Jordan Bardella for his comments on ideological alignment with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Chrupalla suggested that Bardella should focus on his own political ambitions rather than engaging with German politics. The relationship between the AfD and Rassemblement National appears strained, particularly after the AfD's expulsion from the European Parliament's far-right group due to controversial remarks by one of its lawmakers.
