Weidel threatened Germany's exit from the European Union without reforming the bloc Germany may leave the European Union if the bloc is not reformed. AfD leader Alice Weidel issued this warning: she said the party would initiate Dexit, following the example of Britain's Brexit, if its plan to restructure the European Union was left unattended. The reform itself proposed by Widel amounts to turning the European Union into a "federation of sovereign states". According to her, the current European Union is no longer a union of independent countries, and this needs to be corrected. "We want to rebuild and reform the European Union. The European Union is no longer a collection of sovereign states. National parliaments and governments must take decision-making into their own hands," Weidel said. The key point in her proposal is the return of powers to the national level. Weidel insists that it is the parliaments and governments of the participating countries that should once again control decision-making, not supranational structures.
