Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán and AfD’s leader Alice Weidel.
Europe right is now professionally articulating itself to counter the powerful liberal-globalist Brussels establishment.
A new and consequential contact was made public yesterday (3) between conservative champion Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and German rightwing firebrand Alice Weidel, candidate for Chancellor by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
While the MSM is treating this as a brand-new development, in fact, this could heal a previous rift: back in May 2024, the AfD was kicked out of the Viktor Orbán-led Identity and Democracy (ID) group (now renamed as the Patriots for Europe) in the European Parliament.
This came after several scandals involving Maximilian Krah, the AfD’s then-lead candidate for the European elections.
Krah had to fire a senior staff member who was arrested on suspicion of spying for China, and his own ties to both China and Russia came into question. Krah also made improper comments in an Italian newspaper about the Nazi era.
Since booting the German party from his group in the European Parliament, a lot has changed both for Orbán, for his Patriots for Europe group, as well as for AfD and the continental political landscape.

Reuters reported:
“An endorsement from Elon Musk, 5 million euros in financial donations this year alone, and now an invitation to meet Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: once isolated, the far-right Alternative for Germany has a growing number of friends.”
Orbán shares many common-sense policies with AfD, as in the case of an anti-immigration stance and calls for restoration of Europe’s energy relationship with Russia.
Yesterday, Orbán announced on X a visit to Hungary by party leader Alice Weidel.
Looking forward to your visit, @Alice_Weidel!

In an interview, Orbán told a Swiss paper that the initiative for the meeting had come from Weidel.
“’The AfD could get 20% of the vote (in Germany’s Feb. 23 national election). If its head wants to talk to me, why should I say no?’ the newspaper quoted him as saying.
Despite their ideological closeness, Orbán has hitherto been careful to keep his distance from the AfD, with officials saying he did not want to antagonize mainstream German parties for whom the AfD is anathema. Germany’s security services monitor the AfD on suspicion of being ‘right-wing extremist’.”
Thank you for your invitation, Prime Minister @PM_ViktorOrban! I am looking forward to meeting you. https://t.co/gWZ58hjh3z

The historic return of Donald J. Trump to the US Presidency and the AfD’s growing poll strength within Germany broke the reluctancy to have public contact with the party.
“On Monday the German parliament disclosed that the AfD had received a 2.3-million-euro donation on Feb. 1, its largest ever, from a far-right Austrian politician. That followed two separate donations in January from German businessmen totaling almost 2.5 million euros. Each was individually larger than the total in declared donations that the party received in any given year of its 10-year history.”
Weidel has broken the AfD isolation.

The AfD is polling second in Germany’s election race, behind Friedrich Merz’s mainstream (a.k.a. Globalist) conservative bloc.
Many think that the right-wingers have little chance of attaining power if other parties rule out inviting it for coalition talks.
“That so-called ‘firewall’ suffered a dent last week when, for the first time in postwar German history, a parliamentary motion was passed thanks to the votes of a far-right party. This prompted nationwide protests and resignations from Merz’s party, which had submitted and backed the motion on migration.”
