Come on, this is a matter of principle. Having given up on this idea of a cordon sanitaire, that is a huge responsibility, Baier said, referring to the firewall that has traditionally stopped mainstream parties from cosying up to far-right partners.
He pinpointed the 'fear' of mainstream parties to 'confront' extremists as the main reason for the surge in support for far-right parties ahead of June's crunch vote.
It has prompted the parliament's centrist and left-leaning groups, including Baier's far-left faction, to sign a declaration vowing to 'never cooperate nor form a coalition with the far right and radical parties at any level.'
