The AfD's plan to dismantle the EU: blow up the Commission and the Europarliament

The German far-right party AfD aims to dismantle the EU by reducing the powers of the European Parliament and Commission. Co-leader Alice Weidel outlined a strategy that includes eliminating direct elections for the European Parliament and limiting the Commission's role to administrative functions. AfD seeks to prioritize national sovereignty over EU laws, proposing a new arbitration court instead of the European Court of Justice. Economically, they plan to restrict financial solidarity mechanisms and challenge the euro's structure. The party also intends to exempt Germany from EU directives on migration and social policies, envisioning a Europe focused on free trade with limited governance.
