"AdG" Has Abandoned Its Goal Of Taking Germany Out Of The Eurozone

The party is moving away from radical rhetoric.
In an internal strategic document, the far-right party “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) has abandoned its long-standing demand to withdraw the country from the eurozone and is instead calling for a fundamental restructuring of the EU and the monetary union.
This was reported by the publication Bild.
According to a new internal party document, the AfD is abandoning its long-standing promises to take Germany out of the eurozone and is proposing reforms instead.
It is worth noting that the far-right party was founded in 2013 with the goal of abandoning the single European currency. As far back as its campaign platform for the 2025 Bundestag elections, it called for Germany to leave the eurozone.
Now, however, the AfD wants member states to bear greater responsibility for their debts, while limiting the European Central Bank’s ability to intervene. The far-right’s goal is to place the euro on a “solid foundation of self-responsibility and commitment.”
Should this reform course fail, the public must decide what “Germany’s future European and monetary policy path” will be.
According to the report, this document was discussed in late September during a meeting of members of the European Parliament, the Bundestag, and state parliaments.
In addition, the document contains proposals for reforming the EU. “Alternative for Germany” proposes transforming it into a “union of sovereign nations.” Accordingly, the European Union should focus primarily on the internal market, the protection of external borders, security issues, and specific technological projects.
Furthermore, the party calls for the introduction of national exceptions, particularly in migration, social, and financial policy.
Institutional changes are also proposed. According to the document, the AfD advocates abolishing direct elections to the European Parliament. In the future, members of the European Parliament should be appointed by national parliaments.
