Alternative fur Deutschland, formed in 2013, shocked the German establishment last week with huge gains in state elections.
The results have placed it in prime position to challenge Mrs Merkel’s CDU/CSU coalition in next year’s general election.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Express last night, party leaders shared their envy of Britain’s forthcoming EU referendum on June 23, and confirmed they would be pushing for a similar move in Germany.
“I want every member state to decide what is better for them, and the only way we can really do that is to have a referendum, like the UK.” said deputy chairman Beatrix von Storch MEP.
“Schengen has collapsed already. Under Schengen Europe’s borders are supposed to be protected. They’re not.
“A referendum is the only way German people can truly express if they want to stay in the EU, if they want to stay in the Euro, if they want to reform border controls to deal with the migrant crisis. They should be given a voice. They must be asked what they want.”
