Protests held at about 100 locations over party’s meeting with neo-Nazis to discuss deporting those it deems have failed to integrate, including German citizens
The last two AfD supporters with whom I spoke didn’t seem to be aware of all this (granted, I wasn’t, excellent post there). They also prefer to believe that not all of AfD is that bad and focus on the people who they like.
If you’re asking about non-AfD supporters … just note that roughly half of Germany votes CDU or AfD. Many actually like the rightwing extremists for one “reason” or another. Because, not despite.
A lot of these topics are not tackled by the media, or there is only one uproar and then it is over. Consistently reporting on issues, holding politicians accountable to promises and reporting again if they fail to deliver arent done for these kind of issues.
But unfortunately it is also met with apathy in large parts of the population.
Good grief, does the general public not know about all this heinous stuff, or is it the classic apathy present everywhere?
