Berlinul denunţă o idealizare în creştere a fostei Republici Democrate Germane în estul Germaniei

Germany has condemned attempts by extremists to downplay the crimes of the former East German regime amid rising nostalgia for communism. Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer highlighted the brutal dictatorship of the SED party, emphasizing the lack of free elections and press. Evelyn Zupke, responsible for victims of the SED, noted a growing romanticization of life in East Germany. Dieter Dombrowski warned about increasing doubts regarding democracy, particularly from both left and right extremes. The far-right AfD party is capitalizing on this nostalgia ahead of regional elections, with Saxony-Anhalt potentially becoming the first state governed by them.
