Pierre Poilievre says German politician who met with Tory MPs holds ‘vile’ and ‘racist’ views | National Newswatch
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre denounced a German politician after several Tory MPs were criticized for meeting with her while she was in Canada this week.
She represents the Alternative for Germany party, a right-wing populist party that opposes immigration. Parts of the party were put under surveillance as a suspected extremist group by Germany's intelligence agency in 2021. In a written statement responding to the concerns Friday Poilievre said Anderson's views are"vile" and that her"racist, hateful views are not welcome here."
The three MPs said in their own statement that it is not uncommon to meet with visiting elected officials from other countries.
