    • The leading candidate, Friedrich Merz, a conservative who has adopted many of the AfD's hard-line positions on immigration, used his closing statement of the debate to promise his voters that he would never allow the AfD into his government. Under him, he said, the firewall would hold.

The article from Time magazine discusses Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, who has been gaining international attention and support from figures like Elon Musk, J.D.
