Germany: I hope vote not ‘subverted’ by a deal says Salvini

(ANSA) – ROME, FEB 24 – Rightwing League party leader, Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini said Monday he hoped the result of the German general election, in which the far right Alternative for Germany (AfD) doubled its vote to about 20% would not be “subverted by a stitch-up” between the Christian Democratic Union, which came top with over 28%, and the Social Democrats, who came third with their vote falling by over 9% to 16%.
