Alice Weidel, co-chairwoman of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, believes there should be a referendum on ‘Dexit’ — a Deutsch (German) exit from the European Union — if the bloc cannot be reformed.

“If a reform isn’t possible, if we fail to rebuild the sovereignty of the EU member-states, we should let the people decide, just as Britain did,” said Weidel, whose party is polling significantly above the three globalist parties that form Germany’s coalition government, in an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday.

“And we could have a referendum on ‘Dexit’ – a German exit from the EU,” adding that the British referendum provided “a model for Germany, that one can make a sovereign decision like that.”

In alliance with France, Germany is widely seen as the dominant force in the European Union. Compared to smaller countries like Greece and conservative countries like Hungary and, under its previous government, Poland, Germany has been able to break EU rules with impunity.

Only around 10 percent of Germans currently support leaving the European Union. Even among AfD voters, it is presently a minority position, with 45 percent support.

Nevertheless, Weidel’s anti-mass migration, anti-net zero party looks poised to make significant gains in regional elections and elections to the European Parliament in 2024, topping polls in the areas that used to comprise East Germany.
