„Geheimplan gegen Deutschland“

On January 10 and 17, CORRECTIV's editorial team published investigative research into a meeting that was supposed to remain secret: In November 2023, AfD politicians, neo-Nazis and entrepreneurs came together in a hotel near Potsdam. Among other things, they discussed plans to expel millions of people from Germany, delegitimize democratic elections and abolish the separation of powers.

Members of our ensemble will read from the results of the research, which Kay Voges, Lolita Lax and Jean Peters have adapted into a stage version, on January 27 at 6 pm in the foyer.

Following the lecture, we will be talking to the political scientist and sociologist Armin Pfahl-Traughber. He was head of the right-wing extremism department at the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution for many years and has been a professor at the Federal University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration since 2004. His research focuses on the history of political ideas, political extremism, terrorism and hostility towards Jews. Pfahl-Traughber is the author of numerous publications on political extremism, including "Intellektuelle Rechtsextremisten: Das Gefahrenpotenzial der Neuen Rechten" (2022), "Die AfD und der Rechtsextremismus: Eine Analyse aus politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive" (2019) and "'Konservative Revolution' und 'Neue Rechte': Rechtsextremistische Intellektuelle gegen den demokratischen Verfassungsstaat" (1998).

Admission free.
