Woman on the right is Alice Weidel. According to Wikipedia, she’s “a German far-right politician who has been serving as co-chairwoman of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party alongside Tino Chrupalla since June 2022. Since October 2017, she has held the position of leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag.” She admires former conservative British PM Margaret Thatcher and has worked with Hungary’s far-right PM Victor Orban. She is staunchly against asylum seekers stating that they should not receive health insurance and has been in favor fo burqa, niqab, and headscarf bans. Although she herself is a lesbian, she only supports civil partnerships for gay couples and opposes same-sex marriage and early sexualization education.
Sanae Takaichi, the likely next PM of Japan, is an ultra-conservative politician who, like Weidel,also admires Margaret Thatcher. According to PBS, “Takaichi supports the imperial family’s male-only succession, opposes same-sex marriage and…is a wartime history revisionist and China hawk.” Though it seems like she does have some policies that would benefit women, experts fear she’ll actually set women back because she needs to show loyalty to the male heavyweights in order to keep her position.
