Germany's AfD Expelled from EU Far-Right Group Amid Scandals

The move comes just weeks before EU elections, as far-right parties seek to distance themselves from extremist elements.

AfD's expulsion follows a series of scandals including ties to China and Russia, and controversial remarks about the Nazi SS.
Marine Le Pen's National Rally and other far-right parties pushed for the removal to distance themselves from AfD's radical elements.
The expulsion is expected to impact the far-right's performance in the upcoming EU elections, reducing their projected seat gains.
Right-wing factions in the EU Parliament are realigning, with some groups seeking more moderate stances to gain influence.
Giorgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen are exploring a new alliance, potentially reshaping the European far-right landscape.
