It's not really about the EU being essential, it's about protecting one's political, economic and social interest.
European countries on their own are just not big enough to protect their interest against the big players like the US and China, because of that, they can dictate the terms and the rules around the world, and thanks to the EU, Europeans in the EU have a much bigger voice on the world stage and can protect their interest a lot better than if they were not in the EU.
Pretty much all modern countries in Europe are in the EU, even the ones that are not in the EU, are so closely tied to the EU that it offers them a lot of protection, apart from the UK that is, and with Brexit, they've been paying a high price for that.
The rest of the European countries are much less developed.
So you real question you should be asking yourself, why do so many modern countries want to be in the EU?
As for the AfD, there is cause for banning them, but I don't think it will happen, but either way, what kind of party would have a secret meeting about a policy they want to enact? Why was it all kept a secret? The logical reason is because they knew it wouldn't be popular with the German people, that tells you everything you need to know about the AfD, they were willing to lie to the German people and enact policies once in power where the Germany people had less of a voice to stop them, if that isn't alarming of the policies of the AfD, I don't know what is, and who knows how many other secret meetings they have.
Honestly, if I was a German, I would be angry at the AFD for what they tried to pull, but hardcore AfD supporters won't care, they will support them if they did some Nazi level shit, these people can't be helped, and fortunately, most people are moderate, even the AfD supporters, many of them might start to drift away from the AfD because of what they tried to pull on the German people.
But hey, why am I wasting my time, I'm on a fanatical YouTube channel here, it's not hard to see where the views in the comments are going to go, especially with the echo effect.
