Germany’s far right wants to DOGE its foreign aid agency
Germany’s far-right AfD party seeks to abolish the foreign aid ministry, citing a fraud scandal at GIZ, the German Agency for International Cooperation, where 24 Yemen office employees were dismissed over alleged misdeeds. The scandal involves suspected embezzlement and fraudulent claims, with damage estimated in tens of millions of euros. AfD spokesperson Rocco Kever criticized Germany’s development aid policy, comparing it to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s approach to USAID.
