Alice Weidel, the chancellor candidate for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), embodies contradictions with her life choices while leading a party with rigid family values. As a former banker and a lesbian mother, she presents a more palatable image of the AfD, which has a history of extremist connections. Weidel's rise comes at a time when the party continues to gain electoral success in Germany, despite being marginalized by other political factions. She aims to shift German politics rightward, indicating significant potential influence in future elections, despite not likely winning the upcoming one.
Alice Weidel, a complex figure in German politics, successfully navigates contradictions, representing a radical party while embodying a modern, respectable image.
Despite her unconventional background, Weidel has risen within the far-right AfD, symbolizing its aspirations to broaden appeal beyond its extremist roots.
