An article about hot air, cold facts, and the political art of playing with fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was one of those days when you wish politics would at least occasionally recognize the difference between a scandal and a slogan. On June 7, 2025, Alice Weidel took to X (formerly Twitter) to claim that the EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) had paid millions to NGOs to enforce a so-called \u201cclimate ideology.\u201d These funds, she argued, were then used to blanket energy companies with lawsuits \u2013 as if the European Commission were some left-green guerrilla fund dedicated to sabotaging the free market economy. The sentence she used to cap off this nonsense was as predictable as it was transparent: Anyone who thinks things will change with the CDU in government is gravely mistaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth, the only person who is mistaken here is Ms. Weidel \u2013 about what this funding actually is. The EU Commission has supported civil society organizations for decades, including environmental NGOs. Not secretly, not ideologically, but through public, legally regulated programs. This is not only legal but democratically mandated. The allegation that these funds are being used to undermine industry is so absurd that it could only be made seriously by a party that, as a matter of principle, refuses to accept any reality that doesn\u2019t fit within 280 characters of outrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It becomes even more absurd once you know this: Yes, NGOs are allowed to file lawsuits \u2013 and they should. The so-called collective legal standing for environmental groups doesn\u2019t exist to annoy governments but to remind them of their legal obligations under environmental law. Turning this into a wave of litigation against the free market reveals not only a questionable understanding of democracy but also a disturbing longing for authoritarian calm. Because that\u2019s what Weidel\u2019s rhetoric ultimately means: criticism is only acceptable if it is quiet \u2013 and NGOs are only legitimate if they remain silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As proof of her supposed expos\u00e9, Weidel posted a screenshot \u2013 apparently from the newspaper \u201cWelt.\u201d The article bears the title \u201cSecret Contracts \u2013 EU Commission Paid Activists for Climate Lobbying.\u201d One of the authors is Axel Bojanowski, a science journalist known for not denying the climate issue but consistently seasoning it with skepticism that aligns well with pro-industry narratives. The article\u2019s visual framing looks like a textbook example of dramatization: a red-glowing sun, billowing smokestacks \u2013 as if Greta Thunberg herself had adjusted the photo filter. But even a full reading of the article reveals no evidence for Weidel\u2019s claims. What becomes clear instead is that the EU supported organizations acting within existing laws and exercising their rights \u2013 period. Spinning this into a conspiratorial network against capitalism is intellectually weak and politically dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because what Weidel is doing is not journalism and not public enlightenment. It is deliberate disinformation \u2013 and it follows a formula. Take a real funding program, choose a charged ideological term like \u201cclimate ideology,\u201d pour on a generous helping of suspicion, and serve it all with a CDU logo that one would ideally like to abolish altogether. And voil\u00e0 \u2013 the perfect outrage cocktail for those who value their worldview more than the world itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that this supposed \u201cwave of lawsuits\u201d actually consists of isolated cases, most of them legally justified and embedded in democratic procedures, doesn\u2019t matter. In Weidel\u2019s rhetoric, the NGO has long since become a projection screen \u2013 alternatively portrayed as a left-wing lobbyist, a state-funded protest machine, or an enemy of the economy. What it never is: a part of open society that not only tolerates criticism but depends on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Ms. Weidel: please stop lying. It\u2019s annoying. It annoys legal experts who work hard to defend the independence of the judiciary. It annoys scientists who fight every day against climate denialism. It even annoys Christian Democrats who wonder how their own Commission President ended up painted as a left-green conspiracy queen. And above all, it annoys those citizens who want a political debate that knows the difference between critique and calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate protection is not a religion. But the way you fight it borders on a crusade against reason. Maybe it\u2019s because reality no longer fits into your worldview. Or maybe because you gave up on it long ago. Either way, the truth remains: whoever seeks to weaken democracy by portraying its checks and balances as \u201cinfiltration\u201d has either understood nothing about it \u2013 or no longer belongs within it.<\/p>\n
