First, stop supporting Ukraine, because it is a hopeless cause. Why hopeless? Ask the people of Venezuela.
Second, resume buying energy from Russia, where it is cheaper. Why cheaper? Because Russian oil and gas flow from the ground on their own, whereas expensive hydraulic fracturing is required in America.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has consistently campaigned on a platform that attributes high domestic energy costs to Berlin's current geopolitical and environmental policies. According to reports from major news outlets like Reuters and Deutsche Welle, the party argues that Germany can lower diesel and broader energy prices by shifting its foreign policy.
The arguments surrounding the AfD's proposal involve several distinct political, economic, and geological viewpoints:
1. Stopping Support for Ukraine
• The AfD Position: Party leaders, including co-chairs Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, argue that financial and military aid to Ukraine—which totals billions of euros—places an unsustainable burden on domestic taxpayers and drives up energy costs. They advocate for a halt to aid and a swift return to diplomacy and normalization of relations with Moscow.
2. Resuming Energy Purchases from Russia
• The AfD Position: The AfD asserts that German economic competitiveness has been severely damaged by the decision to move away from Russian fossil fuels in favor of more expensive alternatives, such as spot-market liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States, produced by fracking. The Kremlin has publicly echoed this view, linking the AfD's regional electoral successes to public frustration over high energy costs.
