A legal complaint has been filed against one of the founders of far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD). Alexander Gauland, a lead candidate for parliament in the September election, is accused of inciting racial hatred after he made comments during a weekend campaign rally about Aydan Özoğuz, the government’s integration commissioner.
