Michel Friedman (a well known person in Germany) in conversation

DISCUSSING DEMOCRACY with  PROF. ANDREAS VOSSKUHLE

inspired by the new production of Turandot

How do right-wing parties infiltrate previously open-minded societies? Where does the ever increasing fascination with authoritarianism come from? And how can a constitutional state protect itself from totalitarian attacks? Michel Friedman will discuss all this with Andreas Voßkuhle, former president of the Federal Constitutional Court, journalist and university lecturer, who is passionately committed to trying to preserve liberal structures. He recently warned: “It's perfectly possible aht the Germans will vote away their own democracy.” Don't miss an intense dialogue about the DNA of our political system!
