The party intends to achieve the country’s exit from the eurozone and advocated the “wide deregulation of cryptocurrencies and technologies”, such as bitcoins, cryptocurrency wallets and trading in digital assets. AFD wants to overcome the conservative position of German financial regulators in relation to the digital finance industry so that Germany becomes “cryptogavan without strict government rules” open to high -tech projects and startups.
In addition, AFD opens against digital euros and insists that the Constitution consolidates cash as a legal payment tool and the main civil freedom. AFD sees in a digital euro the threat of financial freedom, confidentiality and a tool of espionage for the finances of the Germans.
However, the party’s statements go against the public agenda and the support of the euro by the parliamentary candidates from the Social Democratic Party, the CDU/CSS alliance and the Green Party. Moreover, none of the political parties is ready to jointly work with AFD in the German parliament. Thus, AFD election promises can remain only with political slogans.
Earlier, the ex-Minister of Finance, Christian Lindner, during the discussion of blockchain capabilities at a round table in the German parliament, proposed three key strategies for the introduction of bitcoin into the country’s financial system.
