AUR distances itself from AfD after Alice Weidel's controversial statements about Romanians in Germany. Petrișor Peiu 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 called for Weidel to acknowledge her mistake. Weidel's remarks suggested that Romanian migrants exploit the social system, which Peiu refuted, highlighting the small impact of social aid on public finances. The AfD party, known for its far-right stance, has gained popularity in Germany, often targeting the Romanian community in its anti-immigration rhetoric.
