Far-right AfD Leader Vows to Campaign for Brexit-style EU Exit Vote in Germany

The leader of Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland has said her party will campaign for a Brexit-style vote on EU membership if it comes to power, calling the UK’s departure from the bloc a model for its largest member.

Alice Weidel told the Financial Times in an exclusive interview that the UK decision would be “dead right” for Germany, and that a “Dexit” would boost the country’s self-determination.

“It’s a model for Germany, that one can make a sovereign decision like that,” she said.

It was one of the party’s first public pronouncements since the beginning of a wave of nationwide protests against the AfD, triggered by revelations that leading members had attended a covert meeting at which a “masterplan” for mass deportations of foreigners and German passport holders was discussed, with a view to the party implementing the plans if it came to power. » | Kate Connolly in Berlin | Monday, January 22, 2024

Alice Weidel: „Als lesbische Frau will ich nicht nach der Scharia vom Dach gestürzt werden“

Nov 16, 2023 | Sie ist Deutschlands mächtigste Oppositionspolitikerin und die Chefin der AfD: Alice Weidel, die ihren Erst-Wohnsitz in Deutschland und den Zweit-Wohnsitz in der Schweiz hat, wo ihre Familie lebt. Im Gespräch mit Ralf Schuler spricht sie über Russland, Israel, die Migrationspolitik & Kriminalität. Weidel sagt: „Ich als lesbische Frau, als eine homosexuelle Frau, habe doch keine Lust, dann später von einer muslimischen Mehrheitsgesellschaft nach dem Scharia-Gesetz vom Dach gestürzt zu werden, mit einem Sack über dem Kopf.“


Muslime und Musliminnen sollten ihre rückständigen Ideen hinter sich in den Ländern aus denen sie stammen hinterlassen. Vermutlich sind sie sowieso nach Deutschland umgezogen, um ein besseres, reicheres, aufgeklärteres Leben führen zu dürfen. Das Selbe stimmt auch für Europa im Ganzen.

In Deutschland, wie auch in Europa im Ganzen, haben Homosexuelle und Frauen Rechte. Homosexuelle wollen bestimmt nicht von Dächern gestürzt werden, weil das Schwulsein dem Koran widrig ist. Übrigens werden in Deuschland und Europa auch Schweinefleisch gegessen und Alkohol getrunken! Scharia gehört weder zu Deutschland noch zu Europa. Im Gegensatz dazu gehören Muslime und Musliminnen zu Deutschland und zu Europa, wenn sie sich anpassen. Alice Weidel hat völlig recht. – © Mark Alexander

Rees-Mogg and the AfD’s Alice Weidel Have a Lot In Common – All of It Nasty


THE GUARDIAN: The ERG supremo and the far-right German leader are nationalists linked by their hatred of the EU and much else

My first reaction on hearing that Jacob Rees-Mogg had retweeted a video by the populist German Alternative für Deutschland (AfD)was: “Well, that figures.” And not just because the AfD is the nasty party in German politics and because Rees-Mogg represents the faction that wants the Conservatives to remain the nasty party in Britain. One of the driving forces behind the AfD is a very German inferiority complex regarding the second world war. Rees-Mogg, with his foppish retro look and accent, embodies the Britain that German nationalists think they lost the war to. A Britain they despise, envy and admire in almost equal measure. » | Alan Posener | Tuesday, April 2, 2019

Rees-Mogg Defends Promotion of German Far-right AfD Video


THE GUARDIAN: Tory MP tweeted video of Alice Weidel criticising role of Germany and Merkel in Brexit

Jacob Rees-Mogg has defended his decision to tweet a video of a speech by a senior member of Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), saying he did not endorse the party’s views but the opinions expressed had “real importance”.

The Conservative backbencher and leading Brexiter faced strong criticism from some Labour MPs after tweeting a YouTube video of a speech by Alice Weidel, the leader of the AfD’s 91 deputies in the Bundestag, the German parliament.

Rees-Mogg added the message: “The AfD leader asks: ‘Is it any wonder the British see bad faith behind every manoeuvre from Brussels?’” » | Peter Walker, Political correspondent | Monday, April 1, 2019
