German Anti-Euro AfD Party Seeks Frustrated Merkel Voters

Germany’s anti-euro party is shifting focus to family and education policies to lure disappointed supporters of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union in three eastern German states.

One month before a ballot in the CDU stronghold of Saxony and with elections in Brandenburg and Thuringia two weeks later, the Alternative for Germany party is advocating shifting resources to bigger families to slow the country’s population decline. The move away from a multi-tiered school system, which benefits better students, should be reversed, it says.
