Germany’s AfD reconsiders its vision for Europe
Politics · First reported 2 Nov, 06:07 · Updated 06:28
The Alternative for Germany is reassessing its approach to Europe as the party and its right-wing allies abroad gain influence. One report links that reassessment to the AfD’s prospects after a regional election victory and to debate over whether it can retain an anti-establishment identity while appearing credible to potential partners.
- The AfD was founded more than a decade ago in opposition to the EU’s handling of the euro crisis.
- Both reports say the party is recalibrating its vision for Europe as it and right-wing allies abroad gain influence.
- The Japan Times report cites the AfD’s September regional election victory in Saxony-Anhalt and debate over its identity and credibility as a potential partner.
