The AFD leader called the EC's proposal to ban gas imports from Russia an attack on Germany

The ban on Russian gas supplies proposed by the European Commission (EC) is an attack on the German economy. This was announced on June 18 by the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel.

According to her, citizens and enterprises of the country will suffer significant damage in the event of a ban on gas imports from the Russian Federation.

"Brussels wants a complete ban on gas imports from Russia. <...> Germany must fight back against these attacks on its economy," Weidel wrote on her page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).
