CDU Mayor Funds AfD to Shake Up Party | Europe News
Description
A German CDU mayor shocks his party by donating 10,000 euros to the far-right AfD, openly hoping they’ll grow strong enough to rule alone — a gambit meant to force his own party to stop drifting left. While state CDU leader Sven Schulze condemns the move, he’s holding off on punishment until after the election season. With AfD surging to 41-43% in Saxony-Anhalt — nearly double the CDU’s 22-24% — and key elections looming, the CDU faces mounting pressure to either adapt or risk being swept aside by the rising tide of right-wing populism.
