Germany’s Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has ruled against former Chancellor Angela Merkel after the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) sued her over her remarks on a 2020 regional election.
The court said that Merkel’s remarks violated the AfD’s right to fair political competition.
The incident dates back to early 2020 when, for the first time since the party’s founding in 2013, a German state leader was elected due to votes from the AfD.
