AfD Holds Federal Convention

BREMEN, GERMANY - JANUARY 31: Joern Kruse, top-candidate for the elections of state parliament of Hamburg for the Alternative fuer Deustchland (AfD, Alternative for Germany) political party, during a speech at the AfD federal convention on January 31, 2015 in Bremen, Germany. The AfD is a newcomer to the German political landscape and has positioned itself as a right-of-centre party with populist leanings. Central to its platform is Germany's abandonment of the Euro and a return to the D-Mark, though the party has also touched on populist themes bordering on right-wing that have earned it heavy criticism.
