Sarah Knafo, a member of the European Parliament and the general secretary of the far-right Reconquête party in France, made headlines on Monday, September 14, when she appeared on BFMTV-RMC and claimed that all political parties "wanting to fight immigration" are "nazified." Her comments came after the Alternative for Germany (AFD), a far-right German party, achieved a historic victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, securing nearly 44% of the votes. The AFD, known for its anti-immigration stance, pro-Trump views, and support for Russia, is now seeking to form the first far-right regional government in Germany since the end of World War II. Knafo emphasized that the AFD and Reconquête share common goals, such as defending national sovereignty, opposing illegal immigration, and preserving European cultural identities. She claimed that far-right movements are growing in strength globally and noted that she recently published her first book, Le casse du siècle (The Century’s Collapse), which likely reflects her political views. The AFD has faced significant scrutiny in recent years. In May, Germany’s domestic intelligence service classified the party as an "established far-right extremist movement." Despite this, Knafo stated she condemns any denial of historical atrocities, known as "negationism." She also expressed her refusal to collaborate with Maximilian Krah, a former AFD member of the European Parliament who was expelled from the parliamentary group in 2024 after scandals surrounding his election campaign. Krah had made controversial remarks, suggesting that an SS member—part of Nazi Germany’s paramilitary force—was "not automatically a criminal." Knafo reportedly told the AFD she would "never sit with this man," referring to Krah, and she was expelled from the parliamentary group before she could finish her statement. Despite this, Krah remains in the Bundestag, Germany’s federal parliament, as part of the AFD’s parliamentary group following his victory in the March 2025 elections. His presence continues to draw attention and criticism, highlighting the complex and often contentious nature of far-right politics in Europe.
