Alice Weidel, co-chair of the AfD, stated, "Chancellor Scholz has long lost the trust of the German people and he must clear the way for new elections immediately." Her remarks came after the collapse of the government, expressing the urgent need for a vote of confidence against Scholz next week, demanding accountability and swift action for the benefit of the country. Weidel emphasized, "He owes it to this country to step down as soon as possible."
The AfD has been sharply critical of the ruling coalition of the SPD, the Greens, and the FDP, which was formed in late December 2021. The party argues that this coalition has failed on all fronts, particularly in migration and foreign policies, advocating for a radical shift. They mirror sentiments seen in the U.S., targeting illegal migration and labeling open borders as problematic, seeking a robust anti-migration stance.
Tino Chrupalla, another co-chair of the AfD, reiterated the party's position against continuing arms and financial aid to Ukraine, saying, "I would also advise getting this done in the last few months before the next general election, because it will continue to ruin the budget of the federal government." This underscores the AfD's push for major policy changes as the political landscape shifts.
