Sea of Lights of Hope: Bad Säckingen sets signs against right pressure!

Last Sunday, around 160,000 people in Berlin set a strong sign against the impending right shift in German politics. This great demonstration was organized by various initiatives, including Campact and Fridays for Future, and took place on March 18. Among other things, the assembled demanded that the upcoming government should build a fire wall against the AfD and prohibit the anti -constitutional structures. The review of the rise of right -wing extremism and the increasing disinformation met with great concern.

in Bad Säckingen on the Hochrhein region, an important sign will also be set on February 7, 2025. The working group of Christian churches (ACK) organizes a demonstration for democracy, respect and humanity, which will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Münsterplatz. This initiative emerged from a meeting of the "family choir" Heilig Kreuz, whose members want to give a clear statement against exclusion.

action under the motto "Lichtermeer"

The Bad Säckinger campaign is designed as a “sea of lights” in order to symbolically stand up for a society that respects human rights. Before the upcoming Bundestag election, voters in particular want to call up to support parties who are committed to democracy and fundamental rights. The Christian churches support this event, which is a continuation of the past rally in 2024, in which around 700 people demonstrated against xenophobia and right -wing extremism.

The past Sunday was not just a day for Berlin. The large collection of people in the capital was accompanied by the central demand to show solidarity with those who defend themselves against fascism. The event included a family demo and a subsequent large rally with a musical framework that pointed out the dangers of the resident right -wing extremism and the responsibility of society.

study on the social challenge

In the context of current developments, the Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD) has promoted an interdisciplinary study that deals with the relationship between religiosity and political culture. In particular, it examines misanthropic worldviews and the distance from the social norm of freedom and equality of all people. Here, group-related prejudices and online communication are also considered to find out how parishes react to socio-political challenges.

The results of this study, published by Evangelische Verlagsanstalt GmbH, are part of a comprehensive thinking about the current political situation and the challenges in front of which the church and society are facing. A price of 29.00 euros is set for interested parties to drive the findings and analyzes sustainably.

These large number of initiatives and studies illustrate that social cohesion and a democratic basic attitude are currently of particular importance. The upcoming demonstrations could give decisive impulses for how the political discourse and the social mood will develop in the coming months.
