🇩🇪🇪🇺 Germany's AfD is getting READY to govern, and it's rewriting its plan for Europe to prove it.
The party was born in 2013 out of anger over eurozone bailouts.
Now it's Germany's most popular party in national polls, fresh off a historic win in Saxony-Anhalt in September, and closer to national power than ever.
Alice Weidel's "New Deal for Europe" paper lays out how.
It calls for renegotiating EU treaties into a looser union, opt-outs for countries that reject common policies on immigration or defense spending, and stricter budget rules, with a referendum if Brussels refuses to reform.
Asked whether she still wants Germany out of the euro or the EU, Weidel kept her cards close, saying the AfD stands for a Europe of fatherlands.
Youth wing chief Jean-Pascal Hohm, 29, says scrapping the common currency would be utopian and do Germany massive damage.
In his view, competition from China and a less reliable U.S. make the case for more cooperation, not less.
It's the same path that took Le Pen's National Rally to favorite for France's presidency next year, kept Meloni in power in Italy, and got Austria's FPÖ into government.
The debate inside the party is still live.
Hohm's pro-Europe resolution was withdrawn at an August congress after failing to win enough support, and the euro proved more divisive than he expected.
Merz still rules out working with them, but with the AfD leading the polls, that position is getting harder to hold.
