AUR distances itself from AfD following controversial statements made by Alice Weidel regarding Romanians in Germany. Petrișor Peiu, AUR's senator leader, criticized Weidel's claims as false and politically ridiculous, emphasizing that Romanians contribute positively to the German economy. He condemned the collective blame placed on an entire community and highlighted Weidel's personal contradictions, as she lives with a Sri Lankan partner while criticizing immigrants. Weidel's remarks suggested that Romanian migrants exploit Germany's social system, which Peiu refuted, calling for her to acknowledge her errors. AfD, a far-right party in Germany, has gained popularity recently, often targeting the Romanian community in its anti-immigration rhetoric.
