Anne Will tackles racism in Germany in her political talk on Sunday. To what extent does this influence political and cultural life in the Federal Republic?
- The ARD talk "Anne Will" deals on Sunday with the topic "Elections in vulnerable times - how firm is the middle?"
- Political talk is about how deeply racism is rooted in Germany and how much it shapes everyday political life.
- In addition, the election scandal in Thuringia will be addressed.
Berlin - On Sunday, the general election in Hamburg was on the political agenda. According to initial forecasts, the scandal surrounding the state election in Thuringia has left its mark. The CDU , FDP and AfD are likely to be badly damaged from the events of the past few weeks.
Anne Will / ARD: Thuringia issue - CDU, FDP and AfD will probably be punished in Hamburg
"We already know the first figures that show that this had a certain meaning for our voters," commented Katja Suding, Hamburg's FDP leader, about her party's poor performance in view of the government crisis in Thuringia. Thuringia's left-wing leader Susanne Hennig-Wellsow also attributes the election losses of the three parties to Thuringia, because " the breach of the taboo on February 5 goes through to Hamburg ."
While a red-green government consisting of the SPD and the Greens is likely to come again in Hamburg, the AfD is threatened with the end. The party may not reach the required 5 percent hurdle. The election scandal in Thuringia therefore seems to be connected with the results in Hamburg and should therefore also be a topic at the ARD talk "Anne Will" . The political talk deals with the raids against right-wing extremists and the racially motivated terrorist attack in Hanau, for which the AfD is made responsible, with the topic of racism in Germany and how politics tries to deal with it.
