Clean up your house and get rid of Putin's propaganda, EU chief tells far right

        European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen sharply attacked far-right parties such as the German AfD who are standing for the European Union
        parliamentary election, telling them to "clean up their house" and get rid of Kremlin propaganda.
        
        "When I see what your AfD colleagues, the lead candidates, have done, they are under investigation for being in the pocket of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin," von der Leyen said in a debate with several other candidates on the future of the EU organised by Politico late on Monday.
        
        She was responding to Anders Vistisen from the rightist Danish People's Party, alluding to the arrest last week of an assistant to the lead candidate of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), Maximilian Krah, on espionage charges.
