BERLIN (Reuters) - The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has not yet decided whether to expel one of its state leaders for criticising Berlin's Holocaust Memorial, its co-leader said on Tuesday.

Bjoern Hoecke, AfD head in the eastern state of Thuringia, described the memorial as a "monument of shame" in a speech in Dresden last week.
