Alice Weidel is the co-chair and best-known leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), Germany's hard-right party. A former banker at Goldman Sachs, she serves as the party's more moderate-seeming face, capable of attracting voters beyond the AfD's radical-right base. Observers describe Ms Weidel's pairing with the firebrand Björn Höcke as "a division of labour, not a disagreement on substance." She represents the party's small-state, Eurosceptic-liberal wing, which has been present since the AfD's founding as an anti-euro outfit in 2013.
