AdG head Weidel accused the Greens of pursuing policies against the people

Alice Weidel, head of the Alternative for Germany (AdG) party and candidate for chancellor of Germany, accused the Green Party of pursuing a "policy against the people."

"Green Party, what are you even doing in the Bundestag? You are only interrupting and cackling. What is this drooling kindergarten even doing here? You are engaging in politics against the people," Weidel said, speaking in parliament on Feb. 11. The video clip was published by German TV channel Welt on YouTube.

The politician explained that a "reasonable" government would stop the transition to green energy in the FRG - it would go back to nuclear power plants (NPPs) and buy oil and gas where they are cheapest.

Under the AdG, the FRG's army would become combat-ready. The country would also have its own strong currency and an independent central bank, she concluded.

Earlier, February 5, the candidate for Chancellor of Germany from the "Union of Sarah Wagenknecht - for Reason and Justice" (SSV), Bundestag deputy Sarah Wagenknecht said that the results of parliamentary elections in the country will decide her political future. According to her, the SSV is trying not to be admitted to the parliament, but she is confident that the party will manage to get its seats in the elections to the Bundestag, which are scheduled for February 23.

Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU) leader Friedrich Merz has also been nominated for the post of German chancellor. Chancellor Olaf Scholz was the candidate of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). German Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck was nominated from the Green Party.

The Bild newspaper wrote on December 28 last year that Scholz was less likely to become the country's head of government again. According to the media, 14-16% of voters are ready to vote for Scholz, while, for example, for CDU leader Friedrich Merz - 31-33%. At the same time, the same media reported on December 22 that Weidel became the most popular among the candidates for the post of Chancellor of Germany, according to a poll conducted by the Institute for Public Opinion Research (INSA): 24% of respondents are ready to vote for her.

On December 16, the Bundestag revoked the confidence of the Scholz government. At the vote on the request, which the Chancellor sent on December 11, less than a third of deputies voted in favor of it. Last December 28, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier dissolved the Bundestag and scheduled elections for February 23, 2025.
