The AfD-Alice Weidel compared the country's finances with those of a company and said that the likely new government of the conservative leader Friedrich Merz would be forced to borrow more by left parties.

“(He) will not be able to implement something he promised,” she said of Merz, a fiscal conservative, who has announced that he is open to the loosening of the Germany's debt brake to spend the defense increase.

“He will make compromises with the left to loosen the debt brake, and that is the opposite of what the country needs … The state should work like a company and when a company is covered, you know what happens” , added.

The success of the AfD means that other parties, in particular the conservatives of Merz, the so-called “fire wall”, she said, referred to a consensus among the mainstream parties in order to exclude the AfD from power.

“This blockade is undemocratic,” said Weidel. “You cannot simply rule out millions of voters … We have built up a strategic basis from which we can overtake the conservatives in the coming years and become the greatest political force.”

Ms. von Storch said with the BBC. “The future is light – it's about migration.”

“People want to close our borders so as not to let illegal migrants to our country, to return all hundreds of thousands that come from Syria and celebrate the case of Assad in our streets, and those from Afghanistan and when peace in Ukraine is also the From Ukraine, ”she added.

Von Storch said that people should voluntarily return to these countries because there are no more wars to justify their institution.
