Alice Weidel

You might call it the “Make Germany Great Again” movement, as the European nation heads into elections tomorrow and the populist Alternative for Germany Party seeks a mandate to govern.

Its candidate for chancellor is Alice Weidel, a Chinese-speaking economist who is raising two sons with her Sri Lankan-born woman partner.

In a recent speech, Weidel sounded like a female Donald Trump, promising an ambitious Germany First agenda.

“Close the borders completely,” she said, according to the English translation of a clip posted on X, “and reject every illegal entrant and every person without papers.”

She said her party would send a message to the world: “The German borders are closed!”

According to a Reuters report, in a policy dubbed the “firewall,” other German parties have a consensus not to team up with the AfD to form a coalition government after the election – an agreement U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance decried when he met Weidel while in Europe this week.
