You're saying there's nobody in the AfD
with any proto-fascist tendency?
Oh, my goodness.
This interview has been going very well.
Alice Weidel, thank you for joining me on The Insider.
Thank you for having me.
So, the party you co-lead,
the Alternative for Germany, is riding high.
You came top in two recent state elections,
Sachsen-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
You're the biggest opposition group in the Bundestag,
and you come consistently,
absolutely at the top of the polls nationally.
And I think your success, your rise,
is reflecting a deep frustration
amongst many Germans with the status quo,
and you're very good at articulating that frustration.
But I think people have less idea
of exactly what the AfD would and would not do,
and that's what I wanted to focus this conversation on today,
