Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni distance themselves from the AfD – Alice Weidel would like it to be different. It’s about style. And about tactics in the EU election campaign. What sets Europe’s right-wing front women apart? An overview.
They now want to be an “alternative for Germany” – and are too embarrassing for Europe. At least that’s what happened to Alice Weidel at her rendezvous in Paris. We heard about it: The scandal surrounding Germany’s “remigration” fantasies is not going down well with France’s right-wing extremists. After a crisis discussion over lunch, Marine Le Pen, the head of Rassemblement National (RN), quickly left the restaurant alongside her deputy Jordan Bardella. Without Weidel. People didn’t want to be seen on the street with the AfD politician. They would have preferred to keep the meeting completely secret. That didn’t work because Weidel publicly raved about her date on “X”.. The RN is not very enthusiastic.
