> Politico reports that the Alternative for Germany proposes ending direct European Parliament elections in favor of delegates appointed by national legislatures, curbing the European Commission and returning decisions to national capitals. The party also wants to replace the European Court of Justice with arbitration, cut the EU budget and seek German exemptions from EU rules. If the reforms fail, it plans to push for a referendum on Germany’s EU membership.
