Alice Weidel, Co-leader of Germany’s AfD, (Alternative for Deutschland) delivers an impassioned speech powerfully calling out socialist green policies and harmful unregulated migration during a must-see speech in Parliament this week. These horrific policies are taking Germany down a horrific path toward recession, and harming the sovereignty of the nation.
During her speech, Weidel condemned “disastrous and business-unfriendly” green policies in Germany for hurting the economy. This “[G]reen socialist ideology,” Weidel declared, “is ruining our country and robbing it of its future viability.” Adding to the horrific economics put into place in order to promote the “climate-saving delusion,” Weidel’s riveting speech exposes the devious intent behind environmental policies. Weidel next turned her attention to the migrant crisis in Germany.
Citing “humanitarian smugglers and traffickers, also known as NGOs”, Weidel delcared that “[E]ffective security and border control is possible.” Dismissing the cost of border security as “nothing in comparison to the economic, political, and above all, the socially consequential costs of continuing unregulated immigration,” Weidel’s concerns mirror citizens of Western countries across the globe who have every right to vet those who would come to live in their respective countries.
Watch the following speech by Weidel at the German Parliament:
The Alternative for Germany, (AfD) is pretty much the only classical European party on the German political spectrum. They are family oriented, want secure borders, and believe in the preservation of the nation state of Germany, much as President Trump does of America.

Dear Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen: Germany is facing a recession. This isn’t just an economic dip, but a tangible decline in economic output. Exports are collapsing by double-digit losses to important export countries: China, Great Britain. The automotive industry and mechanical engineering sector, the backbone of our industrial production and thus our prosperity, have been particularly hard hit. The announcement of massive job cuts in major companies and key industries is not abating. Economic growth is stagnating. Gross domestic product even shrank in the second quarter of 2019. This puts us at the bottom of the league in comparison with the other EU and Euro member states.
Many thanks to Miss Piggy for her translation!
The crisis isn’t coming, the crisis is already here. The next recession won’t be falling from the sky, nor will it be the work of evil powers. It’s first and foremost homemade. The difficulties that the German economy and thus the whole country are sliding into are the result of its disastrous and business-unfriendly policies. Policies that are “Green” to the core, a Green socialist ideology that is ruining our country and robbing it of its future viability. This government bears the responsibility for the dismantling of the automobile industry based on a climate-saving delusion in order to promote the e-auto centrally planned economy.
You are ruining our country with the absurd idea of being able to exit from nuclear energy and coal at the same time in order to meet some fictitious date in the not too distant future, typical of centrally planned economies, for CO2 neutrality. Just think about it. That’s absolutely grotesque. And this kind of economic and scientific nonsense that has already given us the highest electricity costs in Europe. It puts hundreds of thousands of low-income and middle-class households in existential distress, endangers the security of supply, and will gradually drive energy-intensive industries out of Germany.
Climate protection is the pretext. It’s nothing more than a monstrous deindustrialisation program combined with veritable job destruction. You are spending billions to avert some imagined doom-and-gloom scenario in the distant future. You are led by the nose by questionable lobbyists such as the German Environmental Aid Group, which in my opinion is a lobbying organization that should be banned, yet you blindly follow and allow the destruction of the basis of our prosperity, and hinder our ability to master the very real and urgent challenges of the coming decades.
For example, the consequence of the unresolved unregulated migration into our social welfare system and the criminal statistics. Yes, I already know why you’re shrieking so much. The former federal intelligence service chief, August Hanning, has said that more than two million predominantly young men have immigrated here since in 2015. And the next wave is already just around the corner. The images from Lesbos are the writing on the wall showing that the Turkey Deal that you so loved to cling to for so long has utterly failed. The Balkan route is wide open and you just close your eyes to it.
We could end the migration coming across the Mediterranean if you were willing to join Italy and other countries in monitoring the Mediterranean to ensure that no one can cross the sea and enter Europe illegally. Instead, what is being done? Instead, you encourage humanitarian smugglers and traffickers, also known as NGOs. You even allow their illegally smuggled passengers to fly into Germany. And now you want to set up your own state-run water taxi service. This can only be described as grotesque, ladies and gentlemen. Effective security and border control is possible. The costs would be in the single-digit billion range per year, and you know it. That’s nothing in comparison to the economic, political, and above all, the socially consequential costs of continuing unregulated immigration.
You want to restrict the individual mobility of millions of citizens with car bans, tax penalties and short-term interventionist measures, but illegal immigrants can continue to move freely and unhindered across our borders. Even in the cases of asylum fraud, where residence permits are denied, no one has to fear deportation. You have money enough for every type of obscure interest group thinkable, but not for the effective control of our borders or the protection of our citizens. The same citizens who are required to give you a record proportion of their income. You owe them a service in return.
Meanwhile, every second Hartz4 [welfare] recipient now has a migration background. In addition to that, almost two-thirds of the so-called refugees live on Hartz4. That’s two-thirds of your “skilled workers” living on Hartz4. Incidentally, asylum seekers are disproportionately a criminal burden when measured in proportion to the rest of the population. Serious sexual offenses, homicides and theft committed by migrants have increased alarmingly. The Federal Criminal Police Office confirms that as the current situation of migrant crime in black and white. Why don’t you stop shouting around here?
The fact that citizens have decreasing security in public spaces is obviously unimportant to you. You can see that here quite clearly. Then we have an older burden which was also a failed experiment: Ten years of rescuing the Euro. The loans of rescue aid money, which are now lost, and money creation at the push of a button are merely ten years of redistribution from bottom to top and from the citizen to the state. The zero-interest policy that Olaf Scholz was so pleased about yesterday leads the German middle class and their savings into the Precariat.
The fairy tale of this being a rich country has not been true for a long time. In Europe, Germans take the last place in the area of financial assets. When Draghi bursts the Euro money bubble, it will ignite socialism, we know that. The gigantic proportion of bad loans on the balance sheets of southern European banks will be consumed like fire. The house of cards of the zombie banks stands on the shaky ground of the negative interest rate policy of the ECB [European Central Bank], and has inexorably destroyed the business model of the solid banks.
We are facing a gigantic bank crash, ladies and gentlemen. If this trend continues we will be facing not only a bank crisis, but a sovereign debt crisis as well resulting in hyperinflation and a subsequent currency reform in which people will lose everything, but you aren’t telling them that. What are you doing to prevent this? Of course, nothing at all. On the contrary, you are the one who is fueling this development, which will be applauded by ECB’s head Christine Lagarde, the woman who as International Monetary Fund Director declared in 2010, and I quote: “We have to break the EU treaties to save the Euro.” End quote.
And that’s exactly her understanding of respecting the law. Finding another solution besides putting Germans at a disadvantage probably isn’t possible, because the majority wouldn’t support that. In Germany, in Europe, you have isolated yourselves, and nobody takes you seriously anymore. At international conferences you sit on the sidelines, while the others pursue and assert their interests. You have shattered relations with the United States. You have driven the British out of the EU and in the wake, the French do nothing for a sensible Brexit solution. And now you are presenting to us a budget which, above all, shows that you and you cabinet have not understood that your final hour has come. You consume tax money, which is still abundantly collected, as if it was a never-ending blessing flowing forever. What if the baby boomers, who are now at the peak of their careers, retire in ten years’ time and can no longer be milked to the last drop? What will happen then? Saving for a rainy day is a foreign concept, not present in this budget.
Despite the record volume, the amount allocated for investment is ridiculously low and beautifully calculated with accounting acrobatics. An additional absurdity is that the Federal Minister of Finance will even earn money by creating debt, because investors pay negative returns for long-term bonds. That alone shows how the money system has gone off the rails, ladies and gentlemen. It is our citizens who are being callously and mercilessly expropriated by negative interest rates. The money of our citizens is directly and indirectly collected, and you squander it.
The economist Daniel Stelter has calculated, and I quote, “In the last ten years, an additional €460 billion of money available for spending and pre-election concessions have been squandered at the federal level alone”. End quote. There are enough problem areas in this country where taxpayers’ money could be spent better and more sensibly. The infrastructure is decaying, roads are falling apart, school buildings are decaying, the railways aren’t what they used to be, high-speed internet exists elsewhere, not to mention those major projects such as airports that never get finished.
Our social systems are overloaded and not sustainable. Germany is threatened with massive poverty among the elderly. Public order is suffering. Security is being lost. The Green Party doesn’t care about that, I know. The Bundeswehr is barely operational; the working population is burdened with high taxes and levies. And even when you try giving some of that money back to citizens, you can’t even do that right. The Solidarity tax isn’t being abolished accordance with the law. Your government and the parties supporting you are already spawning new taxes.
The CO2 tax, the wealth tax, special levies on everything. Any excuse seems justifiable to you to further burden citizens, because you lack the ability to handle the already abundant amount of public funds responsibly, and that’s the truth. This simply cannot go on like this. A fundamental paradigm shift is necessary. Conservation of the environment and resources instead of climate protection. Stop the reckless energy transition. Stop uncontrolled immigration and secure our borders. We must turn away from the Euroinflation policy and, above all, ensure more freedom for citizens and all those who create wealth in this country. The ability to think and speak freely, instead of poisoning the political climate by defaming those who think differently. Economic freedom instead of the nannyism of new bans. Provide relief from taxes instead of bureaucracy and redistribution.
Listen to Ludwig Erhard! I quote: “Dear Government, do not worry about my affairs, but give me enough freedom and leave me enough of the yield of my work so that I myself am able to shape my existence and my destiny and that of my family.” End quote.
This is the individual liberty of conservative policy that our country so desperately needs and that no longer has a home and no advocate in this government. I thank you.

Absolutely brilliant speech, if only the EU would think the same Europe would be a better place , I totally agree with every single word you said , but the gravy train of the political leaders of the Eu won’t, this is one of the reasons we won’t brexit and Germany should do the same two great nations being crushed from within
Very accurate and truthful speech. I fear, however, that she will suffer the German version of ‘Arkancide’ if she keeps this dialogue going.
