Negre: Alice Weidel, what do you think is happening in Germany? Are you optimistic? Are you going to win in Germany?

Weidel: We have already surpassed the Chancellor's party in the polls. We are in the 25-26% range. We are the strongest party in Eastern Germany. But all the institutions are being used to harm our party. However, we will see what happens. I am very optimistic.

We are defenders of freedom of expression, individual freedom, and sovereign nations. So everyone should be able to decide on their personal freedom, economic freedom, and also on having secure borders.

Negre: What do you think of Milei, the Argentine president?

Weidel: He is a wonderful president. I attended his speech in Zürich, at the Hayek Society, in February. I think it was in January or February. I was very impressed by his economic knowledge. I am also an economist. I am very optimistic. I would love to travel to Argentina as soon as possible.

Negre: You are invited.

Weidel: Yes, please. I would be very happy. I have never been to Argentina. I have studied a lot and I have also read Milei's biography. I am amazed. So please invite me.

Negre: Say hello to La Derecha Diario.

Weidel: Yes. I send my regards to all the people in Argentina. I am very happy to be here. I send my regards to the patriots in Argentina. I would love to visit your wonderful country as soon as possible. I want to thank President Milei for all his efforts. For a free world, freedom of expression, and free markets. Thank you very much.
