European leaders are increasingly concerned about similar proposals coming from populist parties in their countries, such as the leader of the far-right German party AfD, Alice Weidel, who openly spoke about resuming supplies of Russian oil and gas as soon as she wins the federal elections. #Rusko #Ukrajina #energie (translated)

It is an extraordinary coincidence that when Jarosław Kaczyński speaks hopefully about changes in Europe, Alice Weidel, the leader of the AfD, gives an interview in which she attacks Ukraine, is understanding towards Russia, and praises Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. #Kaczyński #AfD #Polska (translated)

Max Otte wrote that he gave one of the opening speeches at the second municipal political forum of the AfD in the Paul-Löbe-Haus of the Bundestag alongside Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla. More than 600 participants followed the invitation from Carolin Bachmann and Stephan Brandner. For two days, working groups were to discuss municipal political issues. #Kommunalpolitik #AfD #Bundestag (translated)

Briefs from the press reported that the BFMTV journalist Alice Darfeuille criticized Ségolène Royal for using the term "mutilations" to refer to high school students who, according to the publication, had notably lost hands or suffered serious eye injuries during police interventions. https://t.co/j3bJ94yEJc #France #Politique #Journalisme (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that it was difficult to say whether Germany's Alice Weidel and France's Marine Le Pen were imitators of Donald Trump or sympathizers of Vladimir Putin, and according to him, the difference may not necessarily have mattered for the outcome. He mentioned that Weidel had declared the war in Ukraine a defeat and demanded an end to Germany's support, while Le Pen wanted to limit France's financial support to Ukraine. According to Vanhanen, politicians aiming for power in Europe's large countries had a short-sighted attitude towards Russia, European history, and security. He warned Finland not to assume that the rest of Europe would inevitably follow the same path as Finland. He did not consider the AfD's entry into the German federal government in the coming years to be likely but assessed that the strengthening of political forces like the party would pose serious security policy problems. Vanhanen also wrote that the Kremlin was monitoring Europe's electoral calendars. According to him, Putin would have no reason to rush negotiations if he believed that Ukraine's supporters would be replaced by leaders who were less sympathetic to Ukraine. Vanhanen noted that Europe's center-right parties had not responded in a timely manner to citizens' immigration concerns, which had allowed room for radical alternatives. He viewed the problem not as a demand for stricter immigration policies, but in that these movements were also bringing to power forces that represented admiration for authoritarianism, opposition to Ukraine, and sympathy for Russia. He assessed that decisions about Europe's security would be made both on the battlefields of Ukraine and in European elections, emphasizing that this should also be understood in Finland. https://t.co/3s94O0WUiT #Eurooppa #Politiikka #Turvallisuus (translated)

Mr. Merz, the Germans are not too lazy to work more! And the most successful speech of the AfD faction, a speech by AfD leader Alice Weidel with more than four million views with "Mr. Merz, the Germans are not too lazy to work more!" #SozialeMedien #Bundestag #Politik (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari asked whether Finns had begun to wake up to the fact that, according to her, Trump had said that Volodymyr Zelensky was ruining Ukraine and that Alice Weidel's support for Ukraine from Germany should be stopped. She criticized the ongoing discussion in Finland, in which, according to her, the use of tax money for Ukraine was justified, and it was suggested that the war in Ukraine was Finland's war and Ukraine was fighting on Finland's behalf. Huhtasaari believed this was not the case and stated that Finland should remain neutral and only offer peace negotiations. She mentioned that she was still waiting for Finns to understand this. #Suomi #Ukraina #Politiikka (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that Alice Weidel from AfD stated that Ukraine has already lost and demanded to stop aid. He added that in his opinion, Putin sent almost 30 times more soldiers to their deaths than the USSR lost during the entire war in Afghanistan. He also stated that human life had no value for Putin and that he himself was incapable of winning the war. #Ukraina #Putin #AfD #UA #DE #RU #AF (translated)

Regina Laska accused Alice Weidel of representing Russian interests under the motto "Germany first." She wrote that the interview was more in line with Putin's positions than patriotic concerns. Laska criticized that Weidel, when asked about Putin's willingness for peace, instead questioned Zelensky's readiness for peace. According to Laska, this amounted to a demand for Ukraine to give up its defense. As an example, Laska mentioned that Ukraine had not attacked Russian refineries for three days at Trump's request, while Russia continued to bomb. There were no Patriot missiles during that time, only throttled Starlink. Laska wrote that Zelensky has been willing to hold fire for months. She claimed that the Kremlin ignores this and continues to bomb until Ukraine has capitulated. In conclusion, she asked what Germany would gain if Putin succeeded, and whether Germany could also be affected. #Politik #Russland #Deutschland (translated)

I was drawing attention to an interview, a few hours ago, from The Economist, which is being released right now, with the leader of the AFD party in Germany, the German far-right party, Alice Weidel, who categorically states that, in the event of winning the elections, and this is not such an abstract scenario, so far removed from actually happening, she says that her policy is the policy of Germany first, Germany first, and that she views positively and states outright the cancellation of Germany's financial military support to Ukraine, noting that Germany was the country that has never contributed and therefore cannot continue to do so. #RelaçõesInternacionais #Ucrânia #Guerra (translated)

Lexa wrote that Alice Weidel criticized the energy and security policy of recent years in the Bundestag and stated that the economic war against Russia was costing Germany more than it was bringing in. Anton Hofreiter then referred to Weidel as a Russian agent residing in Switzerland. Lexa assessed the interjection as a sign that the Greens were running out of arguments. After years of sanctions, dependency on LNG, and significantly increased industrial prices, they resorted, in his opinion, to personal attacks instead. Weidel responded appropriately with her laughter and demand for ironic applause, Lexa wrote. That Bodo Ramelow must examine whether Hofreiter's statement in Parliament was appropriate, according to Lexa, shows the state of the debate culture. In his view, the Greens and their allies replaced foreign policy realpolitik with moral defamation. Lexa wrote that one could only laugh at the Greens now. #Bundestag #Energiepolitik #Debattenkultur (translated)

Alice Weidel is saying that Zelenskyy “is not interested in peace,” and that in order to have peace in Ukraine, “we need to take Russia’s security interests into account.” She is a straight-out Russian asset. Note how Alice recoils and refuses to acknowledge that Russia rejects making peace

Apollo News wrote that Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Alice Cooper, and the Rolling Stones have spoken out against political preaching on concert stages.
