Germany's right-wing party, the AfD, is changing how it talks about Europe. For a long time, the party wanted Germany to quit the European Union, which is a group of countries that work together on things like money and trade.

Now, the party is softening that stance. Instead of trying to leave the group, they say they want to stay inside it and change how it works.

Why the change? Political experts think the party is trying to look more appealing to regular voters so they can win more seats in the government. As right-wing parties gain more influence across Europe, the AfD wants to make sure it is ready to grab power if the chance comes.

Not everyone is happy about this. Some people worry that these groups are trying to divide countries and weaken the systems that have kept peace in Europe for years. Other experts say that even with this change in tone, the party still holds ideas that could cause big problems for the continent.

For now, the party is focused on its goal to become a major force in German politics. They are moving away from the extreme anti-euro message that started their movement, hoping a more moderate approach will help them win the next big election.
