Alice Weidel boldly claims the AfD is ready to lead Germany, criticizing political opponents.

At the AfD party congress in Erfurt, leader Alice Weidel proclaimed the party’s growth, stating, ‘We are the new people’s party in Germany.’ She emphasized the AfD’s readiness to take responsibility for governance, highlighting a surge in membership from 50,000 to 75,000 in less than a year.

Weidel criticized the CDU for allegedly working against German interests and dismissed the SPD as a party that has lost its way. Her remarks were met with enthusiasm from delegates, many waving German flags, as she called for a national identity and unity.
