@not_a_newtGreens' MEP Daniel Freund is calling the AfD anti-democratic and anti-EU, so he wants the EU to withhold funds from Saxony-Anhalt as a way to save democracy. The post argues this strategy would hit the AfD hard while Germany keeps paying into the EU budget, noting that similar funding cuts were previously used against Hungary and Poland. Mainstream political parties in Germany likely wouldn't oppose this measure even if reducing social funding for daycare centers, schools, and hospitals feels idiotic. European Union 2026
