“Democratic deficit” in the EU: Alice Weidel sees Brexit as a model for Germany

“Absolutely right”: AfD leader Alice Weidel on Brexit.

AfD leader Alice Weidel described Britain’s departure from the European Union in an interview as “absolutely right” and a “model for Germany.” Should her party enter government, it would seek EU reforms to solve the “democratic deficit,” Weidel said in an interview published in English with the London Financial Times.

If this reform is not possible, the population must decide in a referendum whether Germany should remain in the EU, Weidel said. The AfD decided on its candidate lists and program for the European elections in June in Magdeburg last summer. “We believe that the EU cannot be reformed and consider it a failed project,” the program says. “We therefore strive for a ‘Federation of European Nations’, a newly established European economic and interest community in which the sovereignty of the member states is guaranteed.”

“Clearly right”

The AfD does not rule out a referendum on Germany’s possible withdrawal from the EU. “It is the obvious right of every people in the European Union to vote on remaining in the EU, Monetary Union and other supranational projects,” the program says. This right is denied to us in Germany by the parties that have been in power for decades.
