Young people in Dachau set signs against right -wing extremism!

In the Dachau district, a broad alliance mobilized an impressive crowd on January 28: Around 4,000 participants demonstrated against right-wing extremism at Ernst-Reuter-Platz and for democracy. This great response surprised even the initiators who encountered a strong interest of the population. In the market town of Indersdorf, too, more than 1,000 people took to the streets, which shows that the topic of increasing social radicalization concerns many. According to Manuel Liebig from the district youth ring Dachau, this is the "positive wind" with which the new year started. The specialist office "Partnership for Democracy" organizes workshops for democracy education in schools and promotes numerous projects to arm young people against prejudice and agitation, such as sueddeutsche.de reported

democratic support and challenges

The partnership for democracy that has existed since 2015 has launched numerous activities this year, including a round table against racism and several panel discussions. This platform was used to integrate prominent voices such as Jürgen Kaube and Marco Wanderwitz in order to discuss social divisions and the emergence of right -wing ideologies. Despite the positive developments, the writer Norbert Göttler warns of the risk of anti -Semitism, which is seen as a serious threat to democracy. Michael Holland, the district's anti -Semitism officer, is committed to clarifying prejudices and discrimination. In his function, he has also illuminated the anti-Semitic attacks that have drastically increased since October 7, such as Donauurier.de In summary, it turns out that the Dachau district is determined to actively act against right -wing extremism and anti -Semitism. The district council has recently decided to continue the partnership for democracy by 2032 and will continue to focus on important topics such as the Middle East conflict and anti -Semitism in the future. The financing of the projects provides for 178,000 euros annually to further strengthen democratic participation and educational work.
