Organizer: Friedrich Ebert Foundation. Why do we no longer see democracy as a shared responsibility? Societal division doesn't begin on the far right, but in our center. And this center is characterized by existential anxieties and anger at the government. If, however, political parties continue to govern out of touch with people's lived realities, use populist narratives, and blame minorities with a migration background for societal problems, they endanger democracy from within.

As a politician and representative of a post-migrant generation, Marcel Hopp brings a fresh perspective to the debate surrounding the rise of the right and threats to democracy. Join him and us in discussing how politics influences our daily lives and how we can remain aware of fundamental democratic values.
