A statement that comes from the top of a party that has reached the 22% in the surveyswhile there are now less than six months left until the elections for the renewal of the Parliament European.

So Germany went astray: the implosion of the economy, the wave of strikes, the booing of the government and the collapse of confidence in the future – Analysis
In the AfD program for Europeans it was already asserted that the EU is a “construct undemocratic and not reformable” to be replaced by one new federation from the nations Europeanshoping the elimination of the euro. And it is said that “it is the obvious right of every people in the EU vote on the stay in the EU, on monetary union and on other supranational projects”, but the “Dexit”. Weidel, according to the newspaper, therefore goes beyond the will of his own sympathizers. A survey made between June and September 2023 by the foundation Konrad Adenauer, close to the CDU, recorded that the 55% of AfD voters would like stay in the EU and only the 45% would be favorable to an exit, compared to a 10% recorded in all the other parties. Indeed, he indicated Anne Hähnig from the The time in a speech at Ardit is estimated that just a quarter of the voters Of AfD is really of extreme rightHowever, three quarters would vote for it despite the party being manifestly reactionary. Following him is an expression of a desire to self-isolate the country from external troubles, the immigrants and the guerraa protest against the traditional parties in Berlin, as well as in Bruxelles and against the Natoseen in a troublesome way as incompetent elite of command.
Looking ahead, Weidel went so far as to declare al FT that the AfD will not be in government prima from 2029but then it could team up with the Cduwhich over time especially ad East he will not be able to refuse “a majority of right”. The current leader of the Christian Democrats Friedrich Merz however, he ruled it out again on Sunday evening on Caren Miosga’s talk show on Ard. “We fundamentally differ from the AfD”, the CDU is not for isolation, exit from the EU or NATO. However, his party will already find itself in the elections for the renewal of the regional parliament of the Thuringia on September 1st at a crossroads: in light of the polls (provided that they are not upset by the entry into the field of the new one Alleanza Sahra Wagenknecht and perhaps also of the constitution Values Union Of Hans-Georg Maaβen) the AfD would stand at 36% followed by CDU at 20%, Linke (17%), SPD (9%), Greens (5%) and FDP (3%). A majority without AfD or Linke would be impossible; would remain plausible minority government that you should look for external supports Time after time. In any case, the CDU should form a coalition with the Linke to identify a governor, to avoid this Björn Höcke (AfD) is elected with simple majority in the third round.
