EU: „Rote Linien überschritten“ – wieso Meloni, Le Pen und Farage der AfD nicht zum Wahlsieg gratulieren
Die AfD sieht sich als Teil von Europas Rechtsruck. Doch ausgerechnet die erfolgreichsten Rechtspopulisten wollen mit ihr nichts zu tun haben. Grund dafür sind drei AfD-Positionen.
EU officials have described the recent electoral success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the state election of Saxony-Anhalt as a "red line" that should not be crossed. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani called the AfD Italy's "worst enemy" and refused to entertain the idea of ideological alignment. Richard Tice, deputy chairman of the UK Reform Party, echoed this sentiment and stated that his party is ideologically opposed to the AfD.
Even the leader of Austria's Freedom Party, Herbert Kickl, praised the AfD's victory as a "great sign of democracy" but emphasized that the party's views remain fundamentally different. In contrast to these prominent European right-wing populists, the AfD has struggled to gain traction in the European Parliament, where it has been relegated to a fringe faction for years.
The concern among these prominent figures is that associating with the AfD could have negative consequences for their political standing.
