Germany’s Conservative AfD Party Smashes the Global “Firewall” – Patriots Are on the Rise!
by Jim Hoft Jan. 3, 2026
For years, Germany’s political class and media cartel have insisted that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) could be isolated, silenced, and ultimately broken by a so-called “firewall.” In 2025, that narrative collapsed on the international stage. While Berlin continues to pursue policies of economic decline, mass migration, and ideological foreign policy under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the AfD has moved in the opposite direction: building strong alliances with patriotic movements across Europe and the United States.
Alice Weidel’s New Year message made one thing unmistakably clear: Germany’s problems are not accidental, and they are not temporary. They are the result of deliberate political choices. And increasingly, the AfD is no longer standing alone in opposing them.
CPAC Hungary: Weidel Breaks the Isolation
The turning point came on May 30, when Alice Weidel became the first AfD leader ever to address CPAC, the world’s most important conservative gathering. Hosted this year in Budapest by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, CPAC brought together leading figures of the global conservative movement, including allies of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
Speaking in fluent English, Weidel delivered a blistering critique of Germany’s ruling elite. She exposed the economic self-destruction driven by climate ideology, condemned EU overregulation, and called for national sovereignty, secure borders, and the defense of Western civilization. Her closing line — “Let’s make Europe great again” — brought the audience to its feet.
Even the mainstream press was forced to acknowledge the standing ovations. The message was unmistakable: the AfD is no longer treated as a pariah outside Germany. It is welcomed as a legitimate voice of European patriotism.
Orbán Sends a Signal to Berlin
After her speech, Weidel met personally with Viktor Orbán — a highly symbolic moment. For years, German governments pressured foreign leaders not to engage with AfD representatives. Orbán’s open reception signaled the end of Berlin’s ability to dictate who is “acceptable” on the international stage. The firewall cracked — publicly and irreversibly.
London: Petr Bystron Takes the Stage
On September 13, AfD foreign policy spokesman Petr Bystron delivered another blow to the isolation narrative. He addressed one of the largest patriotic demonstrations in European history in London, organized around Tommy Robinson.
Bystron was the only German speaker, appearing alongside international figures such as Elon Musk, Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Katie Hopkins, and Éric Zemmour. An estimated 1.5 million people attended in person, with millions more watching live on X. The livestream reached more than 46 million views.
Bystron’s message was defiant and unapologetic: Europe must defend its identity, its history, and its future. “Our ancestors fought for 2,000 years,” he declared, “and we will fight for another 2,000 years if necessary.” Standing side by side with Tommy Robinson, he added: “We will never give up — together we are strong.”
The AfD was no longer a German phenomenon. It was visibly part of a broader European resistance.
