The German national elections on Feb. 23 are set to be crucial, as polls suggest governing centrist and center-left parties may face significant defeats. The conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) are expected to lead. The AfD, under scrutiny for its controversial views, has garnered over 20% support, boosted by endorsements from public figures. Their proposed policies, which include mass deportations and dismantling EU climate initiatives, signal a major shift towards prioritizing national sovereignty over supranational European identity, potentially altering the EU’s structure.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is polling over 20%, threatening to reshape Germany's relationship with the EU, emphasizing national sovereignty over integration.
AfD leader Alice Weidel, in her candidacy speech, committed to radical policies including mass deportations, dismantling EU climate policies, and closing Germany's borders.
Recent polls suggest that Germany's governing parties may face significant losses, with the CDU and AfD projected to finish first and second in the elections.
The AfD's rise reflects a broader rejection of political integration in favor of an economic union, pushing for a radical rethinking of the EU's fundamental powers.
