The AFD leader pointed to rising electricity prices in Germany due to Merz's policy

The leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel, said on September 16 that the energy transition of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, which is continued by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has led to the fact that more than 4 million households cannot pay for electricity on time.

"More than 4 million households can no longer pay their electricity bills on time. The energy transition initiated by the CDU in 2011 is ruining citizens, and Merc continues this whirlwind," Weidel wrote on her page on the social network X (formerly. Twitter).

She also called on the German government to "stop experimenting" and return "to clean and cheap nuclear energy."
