    AfD co-leader Alice Weidel on Ukraine, migration and Germany’s future | The Economist

    Alice Weidel, Zanny Minton Beddoes

    Alice Weidel argues that Germany faces a deep economic crisis driven by high energy costs and nuclear elimination, proposing a return to the Deutsche Mark and a sovereign EU to restore competitiveness. Her fiscal strategy involves cutting €50 billion from social welfare and defense spending to fund tax reforms while advocating for immediate peace talks in Ukraine and the strict enforcement of asylum laws termed "remigration." Furthermore, Weidel defends the AfD's libertarian conservative ideology against accusations of extremism, asserting that their policies on family, borders, and monetary stability are necessary common-sense measures to secure Germany's future.

    Germany is “wrong” to finance Ukraine war: Alice Weidel interview | The Economist

    Alice Weidel, Zanny Minton Beddoes

    A speaker critiques current German foreign policy as a dangerous prioritization of values over national security, arguing that military and financial support for Ukraine has exacerbated the nation's debt crisis while failing to alter the outcome of the war. The presentation further demands immediate diplomatic engagement with Russia and the repatriation of Syrian, Afghan, and Ukrainian refugees, citing sovereign debt risks across Europe and linking rising crime rates to open border policies. By labeling the current conflict as lost and the Ukrainian leadership as lacking democratic legitimacy, the speaker advocates for a complete policy shift to prevent bond market instability and perceived internal security threats.

    How would Europe’s populist right govern?

    Zanny Minton Beddoes, Edward Carr, Nigel Farage, Alice Weidel, Jordan Bardella, Zannie, Sophie, Sasha, Ed, Sani

    Amid a backdrop of economic stagnation and eroded public trust, populist leaders such as Italy's Matteo Bardella, the UK's Nigel Farage, and Germany's Alice Weidel are gaining traction by blending pro-growth rhetoric with nationalist agendas. While these movements face internal contradictions regarding fiscal realism and external barriers like the German "Brandmauer," they collectively frame the European Union as a structural obstacle to national prosperity. The resulting geopolitical friction promises to deepen polarization, as these parties advocate for diametrically opposed reforms that threaten to destabilize European integration.
