Germany's eurosceptic party mired in bitter personal feuding

Berlin

AS Greece stumbles towards bankruptcy, a eurosceptic party bent on breaking up the eurozone should be enjoying its golden hour; but instead, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is mired in such bitter personal feuding it teeters on the verge of collapse itself.

The AfD has been stealing votes from Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives since its founding in 2013, storming into the European Parliament and five state assemblies. It had risen as high as 9 per cent in polls, but has now slumped to 5 per cent.
