Weber: EU conservative firewall against AfD must be history

Manfred Weber, leader of the European Conservatives, signals a shift in approach toward Germany's AfD, stating the 'firewall' of 'them or us' must be history. He currently sees no basis for cooperation but recommends a different path, following experiences in Saxony-Anhalt. This marks a notable rhetorical softening from the established cordon sanitaire, though concrete policy changes remain unclear.
