Less than two weeks before the German elections on February 23 Alternative for Germany (AfD) today meets in Budapest the prime minister Victor Orbanfor which he has said openly that he admires him. Both AfD and Orbanvides’ party seek to restore European relations with Russia and oppose migration mainly from Muslim countries.

For Alice Weidel, the invitation, after her own proposal, comes at the best possible time. In the final line of the pre -election campaign in Germany and with polls giving AfD steadily second in the electoral rates, the co -chair of the alternative for Germany is seeking an international opening of its party, as recent contacts with Ilon Musk and today. In the evening her meeting with the Hungarian Prime Minister.

“Patriots for Europe” do not want AfD

The dinner and their individual meeting tomorrow morning will discuss the immigration, economic policy and the closer cooperation of far -right parties at European level despite their differences. Let us not forget that the Eurogroup “Patriots for Europe”, Tuesday’s political team in the European Parliament, which includes Orban’s Fiddas, Austrian FPö by Hebert Kickl, Lowen’s National Alarm and Spanish Vox Vox He did not want the alternative to Germany in their bosom.

We recall that just two years ago, Victor Orban emphasized in an interview with the Bild newspaper that there would be no closer collaboration with the AfD, as it was not clear exactly what it was, if it were pro -European or anti -European. Even in his latest interview with the same newspaper, the Hungarian Prime Minister said about the AfD: “Crazy people and irrational ideas can emerge”, as there is no experience with the alternative to Germany and no relationship with it.

Excellent public relations for Weidel

However, addressing Alice Weider a few days ago to visit Budapest, Victor Orban wrote in X: “Berlin has always been a city with walls. It’s time to tear down the next one. ” The Hungarian Prime Minister apparently refers to the so -called “democratic wall” of all the German AFD exclusion parties.

So could the Videl and Orban meeting be a bend point for the approach of European far -right parties? The environment of the Hungarian ruling party estimates that not, simply referring to a polite gesture. For Alice Weidel, however, meeting with one of her indulgences is an ideal opportunity for public relations at the expiration of the German election campaign.
