In a fiery TV debate, BSW leader Sahra Wagenknecht accused AfD co-chair Alice Weidel of failing to distance herself from the controversial Thuringian AfD leader Björn Höcke.
Wagenknecht criticized the growing influence of Höcke's far-right faction within the AfD, expressing concerns over potential coalition talks following recent electoral successes in Thuringia, Saxony, and Brandenburg.
Weidel, the AfD's designated chancellor candidate, dismissed these accusations and instead attacked Wagenknecht's political past.
The debate also touched on migration policies, with Wagenknecht condemning the AfD's rhetoric, while Weidel emphasized the need for legal migration frameworks.
Despite their differences, both leaders agreed on opposing arms deliveries to Ukraine, advocating for peace negotiations involving Russia.
