Germany's far-right party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), has launched its election campaign amidst a spy scandal that has rocked the party. The scandal involves allegations of a former AfD member spying for the government, causing turmoil within the party.
Despite the controversy, the AfD has chosen to reprise old themes in its campaign, focusing on anti-immigration and anti-establishment rhetoric. The party's leaders have emphasized their opposition to Chancellor Angela Merkel's policies, particularly on immigration and the European Union.
