A German politician has left the anti-migrant Alternative for Germany Party to set up a new party after accusing AfD of a "shift to the Left."

He announced his resignation from the party in an email sent to the leadership earlier this week.

Opponents note that the flower was used by Austrian Nazis before World War II.
