At least twice he tried to smear the German patriots as ‘a Neo-Nazi party,’ with no argument to justify this scandalous slur. There’s nothing remotely ‘nazi’ about them.
In fact they want MORE democratic control over politicians, not less.
For the truth ( in English ) about AfD’s programme, read it yourself, here…
He was especially vexed that some elements in Merkel’s coalition, namely her sister-party, the Bavarian CSU, thought it might just make a wee bit of sense to listen to the electorate…
…………

…………
….since a million voters had switched their support to the ‘populists’ who have overnight risen from no seats in the Bundestag to become the third largest party.

Wolff
=
Needless to say France 24 failed completely to play fair, nobody from the object of his abuse invited on board to refute this sometime Euro-Flunkey’s smears.

Not an oversight on F24’s part.
They are as bad as Deutsche Welle in their leftist prejudices…
…as was made clear by the failure of their ‘interviewing’ bint, who not once challenged the bigoted Wolff.
However, it seemed useful to check up on the powerful ‘Breugel’ outfit that he runs!
(BTW, this is stuff Breitbart should be doing – I have no staff, no resources and seek no donations – but I do my best! )
Guntram Wolff is the Director of Bruegel. His research focuses on the European economy and governance, on fiscal and monetary policy and global finance…http://bruegel.org/author/guntram-b-wolff/
He joined Bruegel from the European Commission, where he worked on the macroeconomics of the euro area and the reform of euro area governance. Prior to joining the Commission, he was coordinating the research team on fiscal policy at Deutsche Bundesbank. He also worked as an adviser to the International Monetary Fund.
SO?!?!
This Wolff is a serious, objective fellow, dedicated to research into ‘European’ issues without prejudice?
Didn’t sound very much like that on France24 this sunny morning!
So I carried on digging.

Turns out the British Government funds his ‘think-tank!’
Theresa May’s appeasement speech delivered in Florence, aimed at those EuroCommissars in Brussels, never mentioned this kind of largesse…
=

=.
….but then hers is not the only government up to its neck in splurging tax-payers’ money to keep Wolff and a bunch of other Europhiliacs in a job.
Again, I wish Breitbart would do this research – my time and resources are very limited, but here are a few clues to get a proper investigation started.

Bruegel says, of course, that a diversified funding base helps to buttress Bruegel’s independence.
Yet one minister in one of those generous governments said it very clearly
… Bruegel’s independent analyses and ideas are more than ever in need today, in order to strengthen the European project.
— Michel Sapin,
French Minister of Finance
