politics
At a young age, Markus Buchheit got involved with the Junge Union and later with the CSU . From 2014 he worked in the European Parliament as an assistant for the MP Franz Obermayr ( FPÖ ) and later as an advisor on trade issues for the ENF group, to which the European club of the FPÖ belonged.
In 2016 he became a member of Alternative für Deutschland and in May 2019 the AfD was elected as a member of the European Parliament . There he is deputy head of the AfD delegation and a member of the following committees:
- Industry, Research and Energy Committee (ITRE) (Industry, Research, Energy),
- Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (IMCO)
- European Parliament Petitions Committee (PETI)
- Committee on International Trade (INTA) (International Trade), Deputy
- Delegation to the EU- Chile Joint Parliamentary Committee
Political positions
Buchheit is critical of the euro as he fears that the long-term economic consequences outweigh the benefits. He is therefore in favor of a referendum on Germany's remaining in the euro zone.
He regards a common trade policy and the common internal market as the most important advantages of European integration.
He repeatedly warned of the risks of taking over technologically relevant companies by non-European investors. He is therefore in favor of common European regulations on direct investments by foreign companies in the European internal market.
He rejects Ursula von der Leyen's climate policy program “Green Deal”, as he fears that it will result in “massive deforestation” in European industry, especially in the automotive sector.
At the beginning of March 2020, Buchheit wrote in the new right information portal Blaue Narzisse under the title “Will Corona bring about the end of globalization?” That the industry “should not be driven abroad by the absurd planned economy games and economically senseless ecological requirements of the Green Deal ”.
