The article reports on the conclusion of the AfD (Alternative for Germany) national party congress, where leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla emphasized their goal of moving from opposition to governing both at the state level and potentially nationally by 2029. They called for a shift in focus toward upcoming regional elections and expressed readiness to take responsibility. Weidel faced criticism for her party’s stance on traditional family structures, particularly after she criticized a local branch’s program that defined the ideal family as consisting of a mother, father, and children.
