My Take
Alice Weidel is a genuinely polarizing figure, and I won't pretend otherwise. As co-leader of the AfD since 2022 and head of its Bundestag group, she sits at the center of some of Germany's most heated political debates. Setting aside how divisive her positions are, what's striking from a purely analytical view is her background: an economist with a doctoral thesis on China's pension system and experience in business consulting, not the typical populist resume. Whatever one thinks of her platform, her rhetorical discipline and ability to command attention are undeniable. She's a figure you can dislike but not ignore, and that itself makes her consequential.
