European Union according to AfD. Radical plan by Alice Weidel
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has proposed a comprehensive reform of the European Union, advocating for a shift towards a loose association of sovereign states. Party leader Alice Weidel emphasized the need for significant changes, arguing that decision-making should return to national capitals rather than Brussels. The AfD aims to amend EU treaties, reduce the powers of EU institutions, and allow member states to opt-out of certain regulations. They also seek to limit the European Commission's role to administrative tasks and propose changes to the European Parliament's election process. Additionally, the party criticizes EU climate policies and calls for a reevaluation of Germany's financial support for Ukraine, suggesting a pragmatic approach to negotiations with Russia. The AfD is open to Germany exiting the EU if their reform proposals are not implemented.
