Next week, Germany will hold elections where the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is presenting its political program. The party emphasizes sovereignty, security, and cultural identity.
The AfD proposes a system based on nationality through the right of blood, arguing that being German should involve real ties to the nation rather than just birthright. They believe this approach protects cultural essence.
On immigration, the AfD blames leftist policies for current issues and suggests expelling illegal immigrants while reducing uncontrolled arrivals. They propose incentives for "voluntary remigration" as a solution. The party insists this is about order, not hatred.
Regarding asylum seekers, the AfD calls for stricter laws and reduced benefits for non-compliance. They claim their stance promotes common sense over xenophobia.
The family unit is another focus area. The AfD supports a traditional model consisting of father, mother, and children. They propose a one-time payment of €20,000 per newborn to strengthen families against progressive ideologies.
In health policy, the AfD plans to limit hormonal treatments for minors and halt euthanasia to protect traditional values and vulnerable groups. They oppose interference from organizations like WHO or EU in national policies.
Economically, the AfD criticizes past governance by leftists and globalists. Their plan includes leaving the euro to regain control and lowering taxes to stimulate growth.
Culturally, they aim to preserve German identity against what they see as threats from multiculturalism and woke agendas globally. Banning Islamic veils in public spaces is part of their platform underlining equality and secularism.
The party advocates for referendums on constitutional changes decided by citizens rather than bureaucrats.
AfD presents itself as more than just a political entity but as a movement prioritizing Germany's interests with controlled immigration policies, support for strong families, economic freedom, and governance serving citizens first.
