AfD leader vows to restore German-Russian ties as she eyes chancellery

BERLIN: Germany should end a boycott of Russian oil and gas to bolster its flagging economy, the leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany, Alice Weidel, told Reuters as she outlined the ​party’s ambitions to lead a national government. Weidel said the AfD can win two key federal state elections in the coming months, describing them as milestones to securing the post of German chancellor as soon as the next national elections due by 2029. “Cheap energy from Russia was the secret of the success of ‘Made in Germany’. We need it back,” Weidel said.
