DialoguePerspectives | Podcast Episode 33

With Germany’s elections just held on Sunday, this episode is more relevant than ever! After voting closed on Sunday, the AfD was projected to become the strongest party in the eastern state of Thuringia, with 32.8% of the vote, and to come a close second in Saxony, with 30.6% of the vote. In this episode, we explore the growing influence of right-wing, anti-pluralist parties on Europe’s central power structures, with a particular focus on Germany’s AfD and its potential role in nominating judges to the Federal Constitutional Court. Hosts Whitney, Paulina, and Asmae are joined by special guest Moritz Dege, a contributor to our Anthology “Voices of Resilience”, who offers expert insights into the AfD’s growing power and what it could mean for the future of democracy in Germany and beyond.

Join us as we discuss the intersection of political power, judicial independence and the urgent need to protect democratic institutions.

A new episode of our podcast is released every month – stay tuned!

EPNA | Podcast: Episode 10

The EPNA Autumn Workshop in Rome brought together practitioners from across Europe to explore the issue of antisemitism in Italy. As the host of the oldest Jewish community, Italy is a very interesting case study from historical and political perspectives. Learning at the workshop took place through presentations on the Italian case and a panel discussion which brought together policymakers to discuss the topic of building trust across sectors in order to combat antisemitism. Furthermore, the workshop provided participants with skills training and opportunities to engage in active exchange with local organisations.
