Hindustan Times Germany In Turmoil: Weidel Goes Savage, Says Merz’s Defence Spending Plan Is A ‘Titanic-Level Error’

A tense session erupted in the German Bundestag as AfD leader Alice Weidel accused the government of wasting taxpayer money on climate projects and foreign aid, including €11.5 billion in support for Ukraine. Weidel claimed funds risk falling into the hands of “war profiteers,” praised Donald Trump’s peace stance, and demanded a return to nuclear power and Russian energy. SPD’s Dirk Wiese responded sharply, accusing AfD of serving “Russian interests.” Chancellor Friedrich Merz defended Germany’s commitment to Ukraine, insisting peace cannot be negotiated without Kyiv and Europe, and vowed continued military, financial, and cybersecurity investment to counter Russian aggression.
