“GDR in disguise”: Expert warns against politicians like Scholz at demos against right-wing extremism. “This can only reinforce the idea among people who are already prone to conspiracy theories that today’s state is just a GDR in disguises,” says dispute expert Maria-Sibylla Lotter.

The demonstration will intimidate people in the political center who don't like the government's migration policy in the short term. In the long term, however, even more people will turn to the AfD.
