AfD's mission statement is this: "We are liberals and conservatives. We are free citizens of our country. We are convinced democrats." Here is some of what the party, often described by the media as "far right," stands for:
Strong opposition to illegal immigration and asylum policies.
Emphasis on preserving German cultural identity.
Reforming or leaving the EU altogether ("Dexit" has been debated within the party).
Opposition to green energy policies, favoring traditional energy sources like coal and nuclear power. //
German elections : 84% voter turnout, highest since reunification. [Previous high was 42%] The CDU/CSU wins, but with only 30%. They refuse to deal with AfD and so must ally with smaller parties including, in the words of the soon-to-be Chancellor, "green and left wing idiots". //
