Pro-Freedom Crusader Frauke Petry Bets on New Party for 2026 Elections
Frauke Petry establishes a new political entity - Political figure Frauke Petry plans to establish a new political party.
Ready to shake up Germany's political landscape,Former AfD bigwig Frauke Petry, 49, is gearing up to launch her own party! While the name is under wraps, the retired chemist-turned-politician revealed the party's ideological leaning in an interview with Welt.
"The power-hungry political old guard has miserably failed to bridge the gap between the bloated state and its citizens," Petry expressed her frustration, "The gap isn't a divide between CDU and AfD, but an anti-statist, libertarian gap, one that my new party will fill."
Entrepreneurs and individuals with authentic life experience will spearhead the party, offering a groundbreaking alternative to the existing political landscape.
"Our plan is to slash the state spending ratio to a lean 25%, aiming to reignite Germany as an ideal haven for free-thinking entrepreneurs," Petry boldly stated, proposing a 50% reduction within a mere five years.
Although the party's official name remains undisclosed, Team Freedom, an organization founded by Petry with like-minded allies few months ago, serves as a precursor to her new venture. The party's founding and potential success may very well herald a new chapter in Germany's political history.

A brief background:
Frauke Petry initially joined forces with AfD co-founder Bernd Lucke, eventually stepping down in 2017 due to internal conflicts with the party's far-right faction. Known for her compelling eloquence, Petry served as an independent Bundestag member until 2021 and established the Blue Party, although the party failed to garner notable success.
Despite prior setbacks, Petry remains optimistic going forward. "We'll cast our lot in state elections, starting with Baden-Württemberg in 2026," she declared. With entrepreneurial citizens and seasoned professionals at the helm, her party hopes to mobilize the 98% of citizens who currently shy away from party politics.
