Defying Left-Wing Violence and Confronting Globalist Threats: MEP Christine Anderson and Germany's AfD Party Unyielding in Their Defense of the West (Exclusive Interview)

In a powerful interview conducted by RAIR Foundation USA, Christine Anderson, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) representing the conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, illuminated the challenges and distinctive aspects of her party’s journey in German politics amidst various political attacks. Anderson’s insights arrive at a pivotal moment, with the AfD rapidly gaining traction as one of Germany’s largest parties and polling higher than each of the three parties currently governing Germany. This ascent underscores the party’s commitment to conservative values, secure borders, and the preservation of the nation-state, directly confronting the prevailing left-wing political stronghold that has seized control of the country for decades.

Held in Ottawa, Canada, as part of a speaking tour organized by Trinity Production, the interview provides an exhaustive view of AfD’s burgeoning influence and the critical issues presently facing Germany and Europe. Recent opinion polls reveal AfD’s growing impact, characterized by skepticism towards the European Union (EU), their critical viewpoints on Islam and climate change, and staunch advocacy for secure borders and controlled immigration. In this context, the AfD emerges not only as a key player in reshaping Germany’s political landscape but also as a crucial opponent to left-wing-controlled government, offering a unique and essential conservative alternative in Germany’s rapidly evolving political scene.

A Stand Against Trudeau’s Hypocrisy

Anderson did not mince words when discussing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s controversial visit in March 2022 to the European Parliament in Brussels. The MEP has famously criticized his audacity in lecturing European leaders on strengthening democracies while simultaneously crushing civil rights within Canada, particularly during the “freedom convoy” protests. Anderson highlighted the unprecedented actions taken by the Canadian government, including freezing bank accounts, deploying force, and classifying protestors as terrorists. She called his measures antithetical to democratic values.

Calls for Resignation and Hypocrisy in the Canadian House of Commons

The interview also touched on the incident where Trudeau and other Canadian leaders praised a Ukrainian Waffen-SS fighter, Yaroslav Hunka, as a hero in the House of Commons. All 338 members of Parliament gave Hunka a standing ovation.

Anderson pointed out the hypocrisy of these leaders who demanded the resignation of three conservative Canadian Members of Parliament for simply having lunch with her earlier in the year, accusing them of spending time with a Nazi while actually celebrating and cheering for a legacy Nazi in Parliament.

The Fight Against Globalism and Supranational Organizations

Christine Anderson has been an outspoken advocate against globalism and supranational globalist organizations such as the World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, European Union, and the United Nations (see here, here, here, here, and here). She emphasized that these entities undermine democratic principles and often make decisions that do not align with the will of the people. Anderson argued that these organizations operate without direct or any accountability to the people, thereby diluting democratic processes and imposing decisions that elected representatives should make.

AfD’s Unique Position in German Politics

AfD’s rise in popularity reflects growing dissatisfaction among Germans with the policies of left-wing and open-border leaders. The party was founded in 2013 as a response to the shift away from conservative and libertarian values by other major parties. The party’s platform emphasizes the need to preserve Germany’s national identity, secure its borders, and represent the people’s will in governance. AfD has faced false and dangerous accusations of extremism and intolerance from its left-wing opponents. Still, it continues to gain support as many Germans reject the new orthodoxy of “multiculturalism.”

Challenges and Attacks on AfD Members

One of the most troubling aspects of AfD’s journey has been the physical attacks and harassment faced by its members by the left. Anderson highlighted incidents of arson attacks on homes and cars, physical assaults, doxing, assassination attempts, and even government funding for such actions by violent left-wing groups like Antifa, who are responsible for a large percentage of these attacks in Germany and elsewhere.

See a few of the many examples of the attacks faced by AfD members and their families:

She expressed concern over the state’s lack of action against these attacks, indicating a chilling atmosphere of political violence egged on by the German government’s highest officials and left-wing parties (see here, here, and here). As she explains, the German government is “kinda like, enjoying” the attack on her party by Antifa, reiterating that “Antifa is pretty much doing, you know, the government’s bidding.”

Challenging Stereotypes: Alice Weidel’s Leadership

Despite being labeled as fascist and homophobic by opponents, AfD’s co-founder, Alice Weidel, is openly gay and in a civil union with another woman. She has adopted two children with her partner, an immigrant from Sri Lanka. This challenges false stereotypes and highlights the party’s stance that it is not driven by homophobia, anti-immigration, or xenophobia but wants to protect and serve all legal German citizens.

Immigration and Cultural Shifts

Anderson addressed the effects of mass illegal immigration, particularly from the Middle East and Maghreb regions. She pointed out that importing individuals who do not share Western values can lead to cultural shifts and conflicts within societies. Recent events, such as rallies and protests in support of the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, have highlighted the consequences of importing anti-Semitic sentiments (see here, here, here, and here).

The Future of AfD

Anderson remains optimistic about the future of AfD, believing that it’s not too late to address the challenges posed by globalism and mass immigration. She envisions a Europe where countries regain control of their borders and preserve their unique identities. Despite the obstacles, Anderson and her AfD party are determined to uphold democratic principles and advocate for the values she believes in.

The recent surge in support for the AfD underscores this optimism. The party aims to cement its gains by targeting a string of state elections next year. Notably, state elections at the beginning of October in Bavaria and Hesse witnessed a significant turn to the right, as voters in these West German regions backed the Alternative for Germany in record numbers, renewing conservative-led governments.

These elections in two large states, home to more than 20% of Germany’s population, were seen as a mid-term referendum on Germany’s ruling three-party coalition of Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats. The outcome was a strong rebuke to Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s fractious and unpopular government, with the ruling parties losing nearly 19% of the votes they had received in previous elections in Bavaria and Hesse in 2018. This shift in voter sentiment highlights the growing appeal of AfD’s political agenda and positions the party as an influential player in transforming Germany’s political scene.

International Recognition for Courageous Leadership

In recognition of her steadfast commitment to conservative principles and courageous leadership, Christine Anderson was awarded the Most Courageous International Leader of the Year for 2023″ by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP). This accolade highlights the importance of her work in the face of significant challenges. It emphasizes her outstanding leadership, dedication, and commitment to the industry. 

As the Alternative for Germany party grows in popularity, Christine Anderson’s insights provide valuable perspective on the party’s journey and the broader political landscape in Germany and Europe. As Anderson has explained, she is inspired by her desire to create a homeland where her children and her country’s youth can genuinely cherish and thrive.

Recent opinion polls indicate that AfD’s rise challenges the status quo and offers a national conservative alternative, emphasizing skepticism towards the European Union (EU), critical stances on Islam and climate change, and advocating for secure borders and controlled immigration.
