    1. The statement is from a member of the far right AfD party.

    2. “Communist” parties are mostly just right wing parties with a different aesthetic.

      1. Yes, it is, but it has become common practice in Germany to automatically portray things that the AfD also wants as “far-right demands”. That is, of course, utter nonsense.
      2. No, they are not.

          The EU aims to be a supranational(ist) union. I am not entirely sure how nationalism goes against the concept of having one big European nation.
