Economic crisis stirs up right -wing extremism: DGB calls for immediate measures!
Schleswig, Deutschland - Laura Pooth, chair of the DGB district of North, pointed out in a current statement that the economic crisis and the associated material uncertainty create a breeding ground for right-wing extremism. In doing so, it describes the interactions between the economic situation and the upswing of the AfD. Pooth demands a concept for economic growth from the upcoming federal government and a sustainable energy supply to offer people a positive perspective.
The DGB Nord, which represents around 393,400 members in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, sees itself as a responsibility to take action more intensively against the strengthening of right-wing populism. Pooth emphasizes the need for a poverty -resistant minimum wage that should be at least 60% of the middle wages, which currently corresponds to 14.80 euros per hour. In addition, she expresses concern about the growing cost of living and the concerns of people in terms of daycare places and job security.
claims and strategies
Furthermore, Pooth appeals to all democratic parties to work together on a positive future. The DGB Nord is actively networked, for example through joint events with the IG Metall and the Nordmetall employers' association to combat the rise of the right. She also reports on the fears of members with a migration background in relation to the term "remigration" and emphasizes that a clearer understanding of political affiliations within the union members is necessary.
In a comprehensive analysis of the previous transformation policy, Pooth calls for a new strategy that promotes both the transformation of the energy supply and tariff -assured jobs. She emphasizes that Northern Germany has the potential to become a model region for the energy transition and calls for stronger investments in education programs, especially for young people without graduation. Pooth sees great opportunities for the labor market in the further training of long -term unemployed, older people and immigrants.In an international context, unions generally warn of an increase in right -wing extremist ideologies. In the super election year 2024, four billion people worldwide called for elections, and the International Trade Union Confederation (IGB) started the “For Democracy” campaign to fight against authoritarianism and for the rights of employees. The IGB general secretary Luc Triangle emphasizes that economic inequality and uncertainty are the main cause of the growing public dissatisfaction.
The campaign is to generate attention in particular in the key months of April, June and September 2024 to defend the rights of employees worldwide. The impending dangers of a possible background in Germany are also pointed out, especially with regard to elections in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg.
In the context of these developments, it is crucial for unions to intensify their educational work and to actively engage against right -wing extremist currents. Pooth and the DGB Nord are committed to social responsibility and a strong commitment to democratic values to counter these challenges.
