Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of Germany's AfD (Alternative for Germany) will attend, even as German security services monitor them for right-wing extremism.

Alternative für Deutschland, the far-right German political party suspected of extremism by the country’s domestic intelligence agency, said it has accepted an invite to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week.

Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), will attend U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. The move continues the AfD's controversial ties with Trump allies and raises concerns about influence on European politics before the German elections.

The co-leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is to attend US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration to a second term on Monday. Tino Chrupalla told dpa on Thursday that he has received an invitation to attend the ceremony outside the US Capitol building in Washington.

Most polls put the anti-immigration AfD in second place behind the conservatives before the Feb. 23 election in Europe's biggest economy.
