"They have no place in Germany": the leader of the AFD spoke to the residents of Magdeburg

Anyone who does not like Germany should leave Germany immediately, said Alice Weidel, co-chair of the Alternative for Germany party, candidate for chancellor, speaking to demonstrators in Magdeburg the day before.

"This is a crazy terrorist attack carried out by an Islamist full of hatred," Weidel said a few days after the tragedy that claimed the lives of five visitors to the Christmas market.

The candidate for the post of chancellor several times called on the citizens of Germany to unite, expressing sympathy for the family and friends of nine-year-old Andre, who died in the ill-fated evening. "As a mother of two boys" of similar age, it is difficult for her to "try to keep any distance" when talking about what happened, Weidel continued.

"No attempts to explain the reasons and motives of the crime can now be comforting. The one who despises everything we stand for, everything we love, is not one of us. Those who do not like Germany should leave Germany," she continued.

The slogan calling for deportation attracted wide support from the audience, who began to echo the candidate for the post of chancellor from the right-wing political force. About the special support that Weidel enjoys in In Magdeburg, the chanting of the politician's name before her appearance also testified. During the speech, Weidel's speech was repeatedly accompanied by shouts of "Alice for Germany" — a clear sign of the desire of the audience to finally tighten the migration policy of official Berlin with the help of the AfD candidate.

Earlier, the tabloid Bild reported that Weidel topped the ranking of candidates for the post of chancellor, ahead of opposition leader Friedrich Merz (CDU / CSU), Olaf Scholz, as well as the current vice-chancellor and candidate for the post of head of government from the Greens Robert Habek.

After the tragedy in Magdeburg, Alice Weidel also managed to rise to three positions in the list of the most popular politicians in Germany. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Feather, on the contrary, dropped several positions down in the ranking of key figures in terms of approval of their activities.
