‘U.S. Vice President JD Vance met AfD party leader Alice Weidel during a visit to Munich on Friday, nine days before Germany's election - but pointedly failed to meet with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
During his visit he lectured European leaders about the state of democracy and said there is no place for “firewalls."
Mainstream German parties say they won’t work with the AfD party, because they regard it as far-right, as do most political scientists and most of Europe's media. Their stance is often referred to as a “firewall.” Polls put Alternative for Germany, or AfD, in second place going into the Feb. 23 election with about 20% support.
Weidel is the co-leader and candidate for chancellor of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party, his office said.’

AfD is the neo-fascist right of Germany. Refusing to meet with the democratically elected Chancellor Olaf Scholz validates Vance’s fascist credentials; indeed, Vance prefers the company of fascists.
