We used to be one of the richest countries in the world, but we are now on a path towards under-development. This austerity that has been imposed on the people doesn't work. The people will not allow themselves to be throttled without revolting.

Germany has become the economic heart of Europe because our leaders are weak.

I want to destroy the EU, not Europe! I believe in a Europe of nation-states.

Globalization means using slaves to manufacture products that are then sold to the unemployed!

I'll tell you what the danger is for Europe. It's carrying out a cold war against Russia and pushing Russia into China's arms. That's the threat to Europe.

Angela Merkel wants to impose her policies on others. This will lead to an explosion of the European Union.

If we don't all leave the euro behind, it will explode. Either there will be a popular revolt because the people no longer want to be bled out. Or the Germans will say: Stop, we can't pay for the poor anymore.
