Decades From Home - A Podcast About Germany Episode 162: Bakery Goblin
After a major microphone malfunction last week, Producer Simon is forced to eat a healthy slab of humble pie, much to Dili’s enjoyment. Once the admin is out the way, and Simon has finished crying, we turn to the important issue of Nic’s burgeoning hatred of a particular bakery employee. We also look at some updates on the ongoing farming protests across Germany.
We dedicate a large portion of this week’s show to the increasing support for the far-right AfD, and the recent revelations over party members meeting to discuss the racist policy of “Remigration”. We ask why the right-wing continues to see polling success, and how ordinary people might finally be taking the initiative against it. Producer Simon also looks at why thousands of Germans are demanding on AfD be banned from standing for election.
