Tax hikes are a guaranteed path to oblivion, according to Alice Weidel
The Federal Republic of Germany is currently grappling with a severe economic crisis, a situation that has been exacerbated by various factors including rising bankruptcies, shrinking GDP, trade imbalances, and challenges caused by tariffs, energy costs, and the EU-US trade relationship.
In the midst of this economic turmoil, the Union, an unspecified organisation, has broken its promise to adhere to the debt brake. The German state, despite having the highest tax revenues in its history, is taking on unprecedented levels of debt. This has led to a heated debate about the appropriate fiscal policy to steer the country back on track.
One of the key voices in this discussion is Alice Weidel, a leading figure of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Historically, Weidel opposes tax increases and supports fiscal restraint, suggesting addressing financial issues through deregulation, investment in industry, and reforming social welfare systems.
However, direct, updated statements from Weidel on tax increases amid Germany's 2025 economic crisis are not found in the provided search results. Nevertheless, her known political stance provides some insight into her potential views.
Increasing taxes in the current situation would mean certain and accelerated collapse, according to the AfD. The order of the day in times of crisis is to cut unnecessary state expenditures and relieve citizens and businesses from burdensome bureaucracy and crushing tax loads.
Key industries in Germany are experiencing catastrophic profit losses, massive job cuts, and relocation of production abroad. The state should limit itself to its core tasks: internal and external security, care for the needy, maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure and public order, and ensuring a framework for free and unhindered exchange of information, goods, and services.
The AfD believes that the necessary reform laws have already been presented. If the Union yields to the SPD's demands for further tax increases, it will condemn future generations to an economic wasteland and completely shattered public finances.
