A co-leader of the reactionary Alternative for Germany (AfD), Alice Weidel stated at an interview in Berlin on Thursday that the “traffic light” or Traffic light union– with this German label based upon the 3 events’ red, yellow and environment-friendly shades– “came to an end just as unworthily as it governed.”

No German mainstream events are presently happy to ally with the AfD in a union at the government degree, claiming their settings are intransigent. But Weidel asked for those to the right of facility to reassess.
“It’s the responsibility of the [CDU/CSU] and FDP to come to terms with the second-strongest opposition party according to the polls, the AfD, to enable a forward-looking government capable of action, without the SPD and the Greens,” she stated. “The AfD stands ready.”

“To put a confidence motion to parliament only on January 15 is irresponsible. You can’t carry on with a rump government formed out of a government that nobody wanted anymore. Chancellor Scholz lost the confidence of the German population long ago. And he must immediately clear the path for new elections and a confidence motion,” she stated.
As an outcome, Weidel stated her event would certainly appeal for a self-confidence ballot to happen in the Bundestag following week.
