Germany's Opposition Party Considers Energy Cooperation With BRICS

Germany’s main opposition party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), is considering energy cooperation with the BRICS alliance. Two members of Parliament, Jörg Urban and Steffen Kottré from the AfD, and several deputies attended a summit in Russia’s Sochi on Sunday. AfD is a far-right political entity in Germany and is the main opposition party.

European Parliament deputy Hans Nohoff also attended the conference in Sochi. Even Bundestag deputy Rainer Rotfuß wanted to attend the summit but backed out at the last moment “after talks with colleagues” and “on his own initiative,” according to DW. Germany’s opposition party is keen on collaborating with BRICS in the energy sector.

However, the conference has been met with criticism in Germany, accusing the AfD of leaking national information to BRICS. Several leaders even went ahead, pointing fingers at the AfD members, accusing them of sharing military level information with Russia. The AfD has denied all the accusations, citing that they want Germany to get along well with BRICS.
