🚨🇪🇺 70% view the EU NEGATIVELY.
That's a devastating verdict. France, Germany and Italy are among the most skeptical.
People are fed up with endless BUREAUCRACY, control, wasteful spending, collapsing industries and destructive migration policies.
The EU should be abolished.
🇩🇪🇪🇺 Brussels is already talking about starving Sachsen-Anhalt of EU cash after AfD’s win...
The figure on the table is about €2.95 billion in this budget period, roughly €500 million a year, a fifth of the state’s investment budget.
Schools, hospitals, and daycares rely on that money.
Green MEP Daniel Freund says the same rule-of-law freeze used on Hungary and Poland could be used here if an AfD government crosses Brussels’ lines.
Chancellor Merz says Berlin can still enforce the constitution in any state.

🇩🇪🇪🇺 The AfD wins Sachsen-Anhalt, and already there’s talk of Brussels turning off the money.
The state is due €2.95 billion from the EU’s current budget, funding everything from schools and daycare centers to hospitals and regional development.
Green MEP Daniel Freund says that if a future AfD government violates EU fundamental rights or rule-of-law standards, the European Commission should consider freezing some of those funds.
That could hurt. Sachsen-Anhalt receives more EU regional funding per person than any other German state, with structural funds worth around €500 million a year, roughly 20% of its investment spending.
The EU has done it before with Hungary and Poland. The difference is that an AfD government has not actually done anything yet.
The votes are barely counted, and the discussion has already moved from how the AfD might govern to how much money could be withheld if Brussels doesn’t like where it goes.
Real democracy at work, right?
