AfD co-chair Alice Weidelová said in a Sunday television interview that her party, after taking power, would push for Germany to leave the eurozone and tighten border controls. According to several articles, she also spoke about closing Germany’s borders and stricter returns of migrants. Der Standard ↗
Weidelová also sharply attacked government representatives and political competitors. She called government politicians “Flachzangen” and said that, in her view, citizens are being deceived. The appearance fits into the confident rhetoric of the AfD leadership ahead of the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, where, according to the articles, the party expects a significant success.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski also reacted to the statements. He warned that the restoration of permanent checks on Germany’s borders would have serious consequences for Poland as well, including economic consequences. His reaction mainly concerned Weidelová’s announcements about a stricter regime at the borders. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
At the same time, another AfD chairman, Tino Chrupalla, also appeared in a television interview, downplaying the importance of the climate issue and claiming that in conversations with citizens he hears more about energy prices, war, peace in Europe, and pensions. The discussion about the AfD thus remains linked to questions of migration, European integration, climate, and possible post-election developments in Germany. Spiegel.de ↗
