JD Vance says Germany should work with the far right AfD and not ignore 'the will of the people'

J.D. Vance, a U.S. Senator from Ohio, has suggested that Germany should engage with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party rather than ignoring the will of the people. In an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt, Vance criticized the German government's approach to the AfD, which has seen a rise in popularity, particularly in eastern Germany. He argued that dismissing the AfD as merely a fringe or extremist group overlooks the legitimate concerns of many German voters, such as issues related to immigration and economic stability. Vance emphasized that democratic principles require acknowledging and addressing the sentiments of the electorate, even when they support parties with controversial views. He also expressed concerns about the potential for increased political instability if these voter sentiments continue to be disregarded.
