Generation Z in turmoil: Why AfD and CDU are suddenly popular!

A surprising turn in the political landscape: In the youngest European and state elections, Generation Z clearly raised its voice for the CDU and especially the AfD! Experts are surprised by the unexpected interest in political parties that were previously considered unattractive. The resentment of the traffic light coalition, especially the Greens, grows. But what is really behind this new trend?

The "fact" documentary provides a deep insight into the world of thoughts of young people who feel increasingly insecure. In conversations, they tell of a feeling as if they were standing on a melting ice floe in the sea. The uncertain future after corona pandemic, increasing inflation, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, stagnating economy and the feeling that your own security is not guaranteed increase your worries. Many young people even fear physical violence.

Change politics

The film examines whether social media such as Tikok have an impact on the political commitment of this generation. While interest in political issues is increasing, there are deep fears and frustrations. Amazing discussions about security and personal living conditions are held. More and more young people are expressing the desire for stability in a constantly changing world and wondering whether more security instead of freedom is the answer to their concerns.

The personal accounts of young women and men make it clear that the shift to the right in politics is not an isolated phenomenon. The hype surrounding the AfD and the disappearance of movements like “Fridays for Future” raise questions about the deep-rooted fears and beliefs of Generation Z - a striking testimony to their search for answers in uncertain times.
