    I love how this is (mis)used to dismiss EU critics as “far-right”, although communists were always against the EU as well.

      1. The statement is from a member of the far right AfD party.

      2. “Communist” parties are mostly just right wing parties with a different aesthetic.

        1. Yes, it is, but it has become common practice in Germany to automatically portray things that the AfD also wants as “far-right demands”. That is, of course, utter nonsense.
        2. No, they are not.

          Because far right ideologies are nationalistic in nature, which inherently goes against the principle concept of the EU.

            The EU aims to be a supranational(ist) union. I am not entirely sure how nationalism goes against the concept of having one big European nation.

                If only there was a right to skip posts here.

                Also, please stay calm. There is no need to get personal here.
