FRANKFURT AM MAIN: A scandal that brought down Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache was on Saturday enlisted into European Parliament electioneering in neighbouring Germany, with top politicians warning against his far-right allies.

"Far right populists are the enemies of freedom," said foreign minister Heiko Maas from the centre-left Social Democratic Party . Other parties used the opportunity to warn the CDU off potential alliances with German far-right outfit Alternative for Germany .Votes later this year in Germany's former communist East look set to hand the party strong results that could make it hard to build regional coalitions without them.

Although in the past they have presented themselves as bosom friends, there was no reaction to Strache's resignation from leading AfD figures by late afternoon Saturday.
