What is this about?
There was a big discussion in the German Parliament (Bundestag). Alice Weidel is the leader of the AfD group. She gave a speech saying the government is doing everything wrong. She presented her own plan to save Germany.
What happened?
Alice Weidel says: Germany is doing badly. Many companies have to close and people are losing their jobs. She blames the government for this. Her plan is called "Germany Plan" and has 12 points. These are the most important ones:
⚡ Energy
She wants to immediately stop funding wind turbines and solar panels. Instead, she wants to use nuclear power plants again and buy cheap gas from Russia.
🚧 Borders
She wants to close the borders. No one should be allowed to come to Germany without permission anymore.
💰 Money
She wants lower taxes for citizens and companies. In return, she wants to stop paying money to Ukraine.
What does this mean?
The AfD wants completely different politics than all other parties. They want to go back to old technology (nuclear power, gas) and want Germany to care more about itself and less about other countries (like Ukraine or the EU). The other parties think this is wrong and dangerous.
🐿️ Squirrel Fact
Alice Weidel often compares Germany to the "Titanic". That was a huge ship that hit an iceberg and sank over 100 years ago. She means: If we are not careful, Germany will sink too.
