The trial against the head of the Thuringian AfD faction, Björn Höcke, has been underway in Germany since Thursday morning at the Halle regional court. At the same time, according to a Gallup survey, 60 percent of respondents in this country are at significant risk of right-wing extremist tendencies. How big is our problem with right-wing extremism? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!
Nevertheless, 45 percent of respondents see political extremism as a whole (right-wing, left-wing, ecologically and religiously motivated extremism) as a threat to democracy. However, 45 percent also see “uncontrolled immigration and integration problems” as a danger.
While one half warns about the shift to the right, the other half wants to move even further to the right on certain political issues. How can such contradictory views be democratically united?
Where does ‘right-wing extremism’ start for you? Do you think the term is too loosely defined, or is it used too lightly in the debate? Is the problem in Austria so big that the term simply has to be used so often? We look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments!
