Thuringia in election fever: activists fight AfD myth

Thuringia is the focus of an elaborate election campaign in which political tensions and the desire for education play a central role. Before the state election, activists mobilize to bring the voters closer to the effects of political decisions - especially with regard to the controversial AfD and its head of state Björn Höcke, who currently embodies the strongest political force in the Free State

mobilization for democracy

The group behind this initiative is the Katapult Magazin, an independent publication that specializes in the preparation of social science issues. Their goal is to convey a differentiated picture of political reality to the voters. With the founding of "Katapult Thuringia" you set a sign against the return of extremist ways of thinking and want to encourage people to deal with politics in a well -founded manner.

educational work by visual media

An essential element of the campaign will be the spread of an enlightening card newspaper. This should not only provide information, but also use visual aspects to illustrate the real effects of migration on the health system and society in Thuringia. The plan provides for the first 10,000 copies to be distributed until August 5th and 6th in order to achieve as many voters as possible who believe that the AfD is a harmless protest party.

a concern of social relevance

is important to clarify the social effects of the parties. Katapult Thuringia would like to show the planned newspaper how very different areas of life, such as health care, depend on migration. This information is intended to help reduce prejudices and to convey a realistic picture.

Financial support for an important thing

For the successful implementation of the planned actions, the magazine hopes for financial support from the public. The first distribution takes place in Erfurt, the state capital, where the actions are observed particularly strongly. The aim is to actively encourage citizens to participate in the political process and to inform them about important topics that may indirectly affect their quality of life.

conclusion: influence of civil society

The activities of Katapult Thuringia show urgently how important educational work is in times of polarizing political landscapes. There is a strong need to sensitize voters to the responsibility that they wear with their voting. These democratic efforts could possibly lead to the citizens of Thuringia behind a cosmopolitan and informed election decision.
