Germany's Merkel:

I think there is a difference between Die Linke and the AfD.

There are members of Die Linke who hold views I cannot share, particularly when it comes to antisemitism.

But generally speaking, I would say their views are, by and large, not contrary to our constitution.

With the AfD, I have far greater doubts.

I would have made that compromise with the Left Party, and I believe we should not cooperate with the AfD.
