02 juni 2025 | Marco van den Boomgaard
In a stirring moment at CPAC Hungary 2025, held on May 30 in Budapest, Dr. Alice Weidel, co-chair of Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, took the stage to deliver a powerful and uplifting speech that resonated with patriots across Europe and beyond.
Under the conference’s theme, “Age of Patriots,” Weidel’s address served as a clarion call for sovereignty, freedom, and the enduring spirit of nations united by their love of liberty. Her words were met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation, underscoring the growing wave of patriotic fervor sweeping across Europe—with the AfD at the forefront as a beacon of hope in Germany.
Weidel opened her speech with a bold declaration of the AfD’s growing strength, proudly proclaiming it as “Germany’s leading patriotic party” and the “second strongest political force” in the country. With confidence and optimism, she highlighted the party’s trajectory toward becoming a governing force in eastern Germany—a testament to the trust millions of Germans are placing in the AfD’s vision.
“The wind of change is blowing stronger in Europe and throughout the Western world,” she declared with conviction.
“The future belongs to free, patriotic citizens and sovereign nations!”
Her speech was a heartfelt tribute to the values that unite conservatives around the world: secure borders, the rule of law, and the right to live freely in sovereign nations. Weidel praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, calling him a “true beacon of freedom” and a “forerunner of a future” in which nations stand tall and proud. Her gratitude for Orbán’s leadership and the warm welcome at CPAC Hungary reflected the growing alliance between patriotic movements across Europe—an alliance that promises to reshape the continent’s future for the better.
Weidel’s message was one of hope and resilience, even as she addressed the challenges facing Germany. She spoke candidly about the struggles of ordinary citizens—rising crime, soaring energy costs, and the pressures of unchecked migration—but framed these not as insurmountable obstacles, but as rallying points for change.
“More and more German voters are fed up with being lied to, and with their quality of life deteriorating year after year,” she said, striking a chord with those yearning for a government that prioritizes its own people.
Still, her tone remained forward-looking, emphasizing that the AfD is fighting for a brighter future—one where Germany thrives as a safe, prosperous, and proud nation.
A standout moment came when Weidel passionately defended freedom of expression, a cornerstone of democratic societies. She condemned efforts to silence dissent through so-called “hate speech” laws and disinformation campaigns, vowing that the AfD would stand firm against all attempts to undermine democracy.
“We fight for the right to be free citizens and free nations!” she proclaimed, igniting the audience with a renewed sense of purpose.
Her commitment to defending the voices of over 10 million AfD voters sent a powerful message: the will of the people cannot be silenced.
Weidel also celebrated the AfD’s growing international recognition. She noted the crumbling “firewall” surrounding her party, citing support from global figures such as Elon Musk and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. Her warm reception at CPAC Hungary, along with a private meeting with Orbán at Budapest’s Carmelite Monastery, marked a historic moment for the AfD—signaling its place among the world’s leading conservative movements.
“The legacy media and established parties fear us—and for good reason,” she said, buoyed by the undeniable momentum behind the patriotic cause.
As she concluded, Weidel’s vision for a revitalized Europe rang loud and clear:
“Let’s make Europe great again!”
The standing ovation that followed was more than just applause—it was a collective affirmation of her message of unity, strength, and optimism. Her call to action inspired attendees to defend their nations, secure their borders, and champion the values that help free societies thrive.
Alice Weidel’s speech at CPAC Hungary 2025 was a defining moment—not just for the AfD, but for the global patriotic movement. With unwavering determination and an infectious spirit of hope, she reminded the world that the future belongs to those who dare to stand for freedom, sovereignty, and the enduring pride of their nations. As the winds of change grow stronger, Weidel and the AfD are leading the way—proving that patriotism is not just a sentiment, but a powerful force for a brighter tomorrow.
