Asked in an interview with Bild whether voters should not vote at all rather than vote for the far-right party, Peter Altmaier replied “but of course.”“The AfD are dividing our country. Therefore I believe that a vote for the AfD cannot be justified,” Altmaier said. “I can’t see any point is voting for the AfD. And by the way I also don’t think Die Linke (the Left Party) contribute anything to the stability of our state,” he said. A member of the government is calling on people to boycott the election,” the AfD lead candidate said.
