AfD Youth Wing Abandons Euro Exit Call, Seeks Reforms

The youth wing of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is reevaluating its stance on the euro currency. Jean-Pascal Hohm, head of the Generation Deutschland (GD) organization, told Bild newspaper that the GD does not want Germany to leave the euro system. Instead, they aim to address existing 'structural flaws' in the euro system.

The GD is set to adopt a formal position on this issue at its federal congress in Magdeburg on Saturday. A draft statement proposes reforms that would improve stability within the European single market without sacrificing economic unity. This stance diverges from the party's previous calls for Germany to exit the euro system, which appeared in their 2025 election program.

Hohm also differs with party leader Alice Weidel regarding migration policy. While Weidel advocates for leaving the EU's Schengen free-movement area, Hohm believes Germany should remain part of it. The Generation Deutschland was established last year as a replacement for the AfD's previous youth wing.
