Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has reaffirmed its ambition to govern the country. Wrapping up the party's national convention in Erfurt, the capital of the eastern state of Thuringia, re-elected co-leader Alice Weidel was pointing to current opinion polls that see the party in the lead across Germany. "We are the strongest force. We are a people's party with 30% support. And we will govern," she said.
