The European Union鈥檚 focus on climate in all policy fields is unnecessary and the Green Deal should be abolished, Maximilian Krah, the German populist far-right Alternative for Germany鈥檚 (AfD) lead candidate for the 2024 EU elections, told public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk (Dlf) . The European Union鈥檚 leaders had made climate policy a cross-sectional task, which had led to the creation of a lot of bureaucracy, the politician said. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 need this dominance because it harms us,鈥� he said, arguing that the Green Deal would lead to the deindustrialisation of Europe. 鈥淲e fundamentally reject this climate policy with its priorities.鈥� The is a member of the European Parliament and was elected lead candidate at a party conference over the weekend (29 July).

The AfD has long rejected the science on human-made climate change, going against overwhelming empirical evidence. It says climate action only leads to high energy prices and a loss of industry, jobs and prosperity. In , the party even stipulates a conspiracy, saying that high energy prices are only the first signal of 鈥済reen world rescue.鈥� The draft says: 鈥淭he deliberately brought about energy shortage is intended to produce a citizen helplessly at the mercy of the Brussels central state and dependent on monetary benefits.鈥� The draft is subject to change, and the party鈥檚 final EU election programme could be decided at another meeting this week, or later this year. As citizens increasingly feel that the changes needed to avert the worst effects of climate change influence their day-to-day lives, climate policy has become more politicised and is set to play a major role in the campaigns across the EU for the elections on 6-9 June 2024.

The AfD 鈥� which the domestic intelligence agency Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) categorises as a 鈥渟uspicious entity鈥� 鈥� in recent national polls in Germany to an all-time high of about 20 percent. BfV president Thomas Haldenwang that while not all AfD candidates for the EU elections have been chosen yet, it was already clear that 鈥減eople who have attracted attention in the past with positions that are not compatible with our free democratic basic order will be part of the AfD delegation in the upcoming European Parliament.鈥� The draft proposal for the party鈥檚 EU election programme had called for the abolition of the European Union, but the party later this was an 鈥渆ditorial mistake.鈥� Krah said his party aimed for 鈥渁 Europe of fatherlands鈥� or 鈥渁 federation of European nations.鈥� Delegates at the party conference over the weekend voted in favour of the AfD officially joining the far-right Identity & Democracy (ID), an alliance that includes right-wing populist parties from several EU member states. Several AfD members of the European Parliament have been part of the ID group for some time.
