Podcast: Young Politics in Saxony

In Sachsenfernsehen’s podcast format "Young Politics in Saxony", Michael Krell, research associate at the Chair of Human Geography, discussed the electoral success of extreme right-wing parties in the European and local elections in Saxony together with Michael Nattke, Managing Director of the Cultural Office of Saxony. The focus was on attempts to explain the strong performance of the AfD in Saxony, the regional differences within the election results and the emerging challenges for Saxony's local politics in the upcoming legislative period. In particular, the performance of the small neo-Nazi party Freie Sachsen was discussed in detail and classified as a threat to democracy. The podcast can be accessed online and on the usual platforms.
