AfD leader proposes EU reform, threatens German exit

AfD leader Alice Weidel presented a proposal in the European Parliament to radically reform the EU, including abolishing direct EP elections, shrinking the Commission, and allowing Germany to opt out of common policies and Schengen. This marks an escalation of the AfD's anti-EU stance, though it remains a proposal with no immediate legislative effect. The move signals growing eurosceptic pressure within German politics ahead of elections.

AfD Escalates EU Reform Proposals, Seeks Far-Right Alignment on Ukraine/Russia

Germany's AfD, led by Alice Weidel, has significantly escalated its anti-EU platform, proposing radical institutional reforms including abolishing direct European Parliament elections and weakening the European Commission. Concurrently, Weidel is advocating for Ukraine peace talks, a return to cheap Russian energy, and mass refugee expulsions, while reportedly seeking alignment with France's National Rally on a pro-Russian stance. The proposals represent a hardline shift ahead of upcoming elections, with immediate political impact uncertain.
