Alice Weidel makes history as Germany's first openly gay far-right Chancellor candidate

Alice Weidel is the first openly gay candidate for Chancellor from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. She lives in Switzerland with her partner and two children. Weidel has been a prominent figure in the party since 2013. As Germany prepares for a crucial election, Weidel's leadership of AfD has drawn attention. The party, known for its anti-immigration stance, is expected to become the second-largest in parliament, despite unlikely coalition prospects with other parties. Weidel has received support from notable figures, including Elon Musk. She has a background in economics and has previously worked for major financial institutions. Despite her personal life, she emphasizes traditional family values, aligning with AfD's ideology.
