"Democracy at the heart of the matter" - Dreyer: Standing together against right-wing extremism
The outgoing Rhineland-Palatinate Minister-President Malu Dreyer calls on all Democrats to "stand together against right-wing extremism and populism." "There is really a lot at stake. Not everyone has understood that yet," said the SPD politician in her last interview as the head of government for the German Press Agency in Mainz. This also applies to Rhineland-Palatinate.
Dreyer intends to engage further for her "heart's theme of democracy" after her retirement from state politics next week. Her designated successor Alexander Schweitzer is to be elected on Wednesday and will then take over the office of the head of government.
"Populism thrives on coarsening and hate and drives society apart," warned Dreyer. It is important to "pull together at the ropes, in language, in conduct, and in behavior, and to say clearly that we stand together for democracy," demanded the Social Democrat. "That is the challenge in a nutshell."
- Despite her upcoming retirement from state politics, Malu Dreyer, the SPD politician from Rhineland-Palatinate, has emphasized her commitment to combating right-wing extremism and populism within her party.
- In a recent interview with the German Press Agency in Mainz, Dreyer expressed concern about the rise of right-wing extremism and its impact on local politics in Rhineland-Palatinate.
- The incoming Government of Rhineland-Palatinate, led by Alexander Schweitzer, will need to address the growing threat of right-wing extremism and populism in order to maintain a strong democracy in the region.
- Malu Dreyer's warning against the dangers of populism and its ability to drive society apart resonated with the People of Rhineland-Palatinate, who are eager to ensure that their democracy remains strong and united.
- The SPD, under the leadership of Malu Dreyer and her successor, has always been steadfast in its commitment to protecting democracy from the threats of right-wing extremism and populism, a position that has gained even more importance in the current political climate.
