Weidel’s Address at CPAC Budapest
At CPAC Budapest, Alice Weidel spoke on behalf of Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), capturing the attention of nearly 600 international guests. Hosted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, this gathering remained focused on anti-globalist themes. Weidel criticized Germany’s establishment under Chancellor Friedrich Merz for its actions against the AfD, emphasizing the necessity of confronting the EU’s globalist agenda. Her speech covered mass migration, crime rates, and economic difficulties, arguing they result from current government policies.
Weidel stressed the importance of challenging the current national direction. She hailed Hungary as the perfect venue for addressing these vital issues. Her position was endorsed by Prime Minister Orban, who echoed her concerns for the future of traditional European values. CPAC’s choice to feature Weidel highlights a shift as conservatives recognize AfD’s potential influence on Germany and the broader European landscape.
AfD as the Main Opposition
Weidel’s presence at CPAC Budapest symbolizes the AfD’s rising prominence as the primary opposition to Germany’s ruling coalition. She compared Germany’s situation to a danger zone because of mass migration, increased crime rates, and economic instability. The AfD leader called on attendees to stand firm against leftist influences reshaping European identity. Her assertive stance captured the essence of a party emerging as a pivotal player in German and European politics.
“Politics have turned Germany into a danger zone. Its people suffer from mass migration, exploding crime rates, high taxes, energy prices, inflation, and the destruction of wealth. That is why they voted out the old left-green government only to get a government that continues down the same disastrous path.” – Alice Weidel.
Many view the AfD’s steady rise as a remedy against the excesses of Germany’s current trajectory. With leaders like Weidel, the party reflects a growing conservative consensus that aims to secure national values. Weidel’s comparison to leaders such as Nigel Farage underscores the broader resonance of her message.
The Path Forward and European Unity
Weidel argued for enhanced European unity to uphold shared Western ideals, highlighting the need for strong leadership against globalist agendas. Toward this end, she pointed out that transforming Germany’s government could significantly impact EU priorities. The CPAC Budapest event remains an anchor for conservatives looking to influence the future of Europe. Leaders like Viktor Orbán validate the AfD’s role in articulating this vision, as exemplified in their open support.
“Influential politicians in Germany have their minds made up to ban the strongest opposition political party, the Alternative for Germany. They would eliminate a political force that will soon form the government in several East German (states); furthermore, they want to ban a party that has caught up with and overtaken the Chancellor’s party itself. It is grotesque, it is authoritarian, and yet this is the path they pursue—but they will not prevail.” – Alice Weidel.
As CPAC Hungary illustrates, perseverance and resilience continue to drive the conservative movement within Europe. Weidel’s impactful speech serves as a call to action for those aligned with protecting cultural heritage and rejecting unfettered globalism. Looking ahead, the AfD and its allies remain committed to the principles that define the identity and stability of Europe.
