AfD Proposes German Exit from EU and Euro in New Election Platform

The party's draft program for the 2025 Bundestag elections calls for a referendum on EU membership and a return to a national currency.

The AfD's draft election program advocates for Germany's withdrawal from the European Union and the Eurozone, citing the EU's transformation into a 'planned economy superstate.'
The proposal includes replacing the EU with a 'Wirtschafts- und Interessengemeinschaft' (Economic and Interest Community) and negotiating a consensual transition with current and potential partners.
The party suggests reintroducing a stable national currency while potentially maintaining the Euro in parallel as a transitional measure.
Other controversial proposals in the draft include stricter limits on abortion access, opposition to gender self-identification laws, and a ban on puberty blockers for minors.
The program will be debated and finalized at the AfD's federal party convention in January 2025, where amendments may still be made.
