AfD presents radical reform plans for the European Union
Key FactsAfD proposes reducing central EU powers

  • Weidel criticized the unelected European Commission’s exclusive power to propose EU-wide laws as a democratic checks-and-balances problem.

  • The party wants to replace the European Parliament with an assembly of representatives from the 27 national parliaments; the Commission would only administer.

  • The strategy paper proposes ending direct elections for European lawmakers and making the European Council the central decision-making body.

  • The AfD would consider withdrawing from EU-wide agreements; if restructuring fails, it seeks a referendum on Germany’s continued EU membership.
    • Therefore we say that we must rebuild the European Union, and return the competences to the national parliaments and governments.
    — Alice Weidel, AfD party leader, at a press conference in the European Parliament in Strasbourg (speaking in English)
