Tino Chrupalla, head of Germany’s AfD party, considers co-leader Alice Weidel a “traditional woman.” For Weidel, this is “of course absolute,” Chrupalla said on Tuesday. According to Weidel, she lives in a lesbian relationship and is married to a woman with whom she is raising two children.
In its party manifesto, the AfD is committed to ‘the traditional family as a model’, in which mothers and fathers are responsible for their children.
“We want youth education that is free of ideology”
In an interview with the broadcasters RTL and n-tv, Chrupalla criticized the education of children in daycare centers and schools. “It is about the ideology that is partly introduced into daycare centers and schools by non-governmental organizations,” he said. “We want youth education that is ideologically free, but of course also ideology-free kindergarten care.”
Women are scarce in the AfD
Chrupalla did not want to see a problem in the fact that there are only a few women among AfD party members and that there are very few women in the Bundestag and the parliamentary groups of the states. “This is certainly because politics is certainly not that desirable for many women,” he said. “And yet we have no quota. For us it is the quality that counts.”
Last year, Weidel said about her private life circumstances in the ARD’s ‘Summer Interview’: ‘I am married to a woman I have known for twenty years, we have two children together.’ She doesn’t feel discriminated against – ‘why should she?’ Weidel criticized the German traffic light coalition’s gender policy as “stupid”.
