The co-leader of the AfD, Alice Weidel, set a high bar for the upcoming federal elections in Germany, declaring that the party's goal is to secure at least 40% of the vote. "My declared objective is to widen the gap significantly within a very short timeframe and reach at least 40% in the next federal elections," stated Weidel, signaling the intention of the AfD to further build its momentum on a national political stage. Alice Weidel simultaneously downplayed fears that the AfD would pursue mass deportations of foreign nationals and citizens belonging to ethnic minorities from Saxony-Anhalt. "Anyone who wants to make a positive contribution to our society, respects the rule of law, and pays their taxes here is more than welcome," declared the co-leader of the AfD.
"It has nothing to do with whether someone is a foreigner or not, nor whether they have a migration background or not," she asserted. "Everyone is welcome, provided they wish to make a positive contribution." Weidel argued, however, that there has been excessive migration by individuals "who simply wish to take advantage of our social welfare system." With her statement, she sought to distance the AfD's position from perceptions that the party intends to indiscriminately expel foreign nationals or Germans with an immigrant background, establishing compliance with the legal framework, tax payments, and positive societal integration as key criteria.
