According to Lexa, Merz left the room while she was speaking. The author claims that Weidel accused the government of propelling deindustrialization through high energy prices, taxes, bureaucracy, and state interventions. Lexa wrote that Merz continued the previous failures in migration and social policy. Weidel presented him with two options: to end collaboration with the SPD and seek bourgeois majorities, or to continue the current course and accept an AfD reform government after the next election.

The visit was a PR show rather than an exit strategy; British taxpayers would have to continue bearing the costs. #Ukraine #Selenskyj #Waffenhilfe (translated)
