AfD MEP Christine Anderson became a household name after a speech she delivered at the European Parliament in March of 2022 flooded social and legacy media networks alike. In her speech, Anderson excoriated Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, calling him a “disgrace to any democracy” for his authoritarian-esque actions against truckers opposing forced vaccinations.
The fire-breathing German MEP made her foray into politics in 2013 when she became a member of the right-conservative Alternative for Deutschland (AfD). Quickly, and likely due to her fighting spirit paired with her no-nonsense, matter-of-fact, communication style, she rose in the party’s ranks. After having served as the AfD’s group leader in the Limburg-Weilburg district, in Hesse, from 2016 to 2018, she was elected to represent the German people in the European Parliament.
