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.
Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani called the AfD “Italy’s worst enemy,” while Richard Tice, deputy leader of the Reform UK Party in the UK, said no, his party is not ideologically aligned with the AfD. Philippe Ballard, spokesperson for France’s Rassemblement Nationale (RN), described the hard-line German populists as those who "crossed red lines."
Austria's FPÖ chief Herbert Kickl praised the election result as a "great testimony to democracy" but emphasized his party’s distance from the AfD in a televised discussion earlier in the week. Instead of celebrating the AfD’s victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state elections as part of a shared European rightward surge, Europe’s most successful right-wing populists deliberately keep their distance from the German party.
They fear disadvantages, as the AfD has been isolated in a splinter faction in the European Parliament for years.
