This kind of demonstration has threatened at times to drum dream campaigners out of local politics. The biggest hope for me was that we are a thousand people in the city. I am not alone as a progressive young guy in cities like Zwickau.

Neonazisit ja myös toiset suomalaiset ihmiset tekevät demonstraatioita meidän kliimatemonstraatioimme Suomessa. He postoivat minun puolestani sosiaalisessa mediassa ja neonazisit pysyvät ympäri meidän asemamme. Vahvistelijat?

People think ten times if they want to be a candidate for the elections in Zwickau for the Green Party, because the people know if they want to do it, it brings a lot of stress, threatening and all of that stuff.

Jäin partiin vuonna 2016 ja alussa ajattelin, että olisi mahdollista tehdä muutaman tuntia päivänä poliitikassa. Ja tietenkin voin edelleen soittaa konsertteja. Mutta sitten ympäristö ja yhteiskunta muuttui. Jokaisen konsertin jälkeen, tai joskus ennen konsertteja, oli ihmisiä ulkopuolella ja odottamassa minua ja kivittämällä. Se oli terveellinen tilanne. Isompi protesti. Isompi protesti minuun.

If we debate with the words, it's just one thing. On the other hand, you have people, they are facing all the problems that they got from the kind of politics. They pay energy prices, they lose prosperity, they lose income for the kids. We start a debate with the politics, but we don't get any answer.

And that, he says, also raises painful questions for green campaigners about losing touch with working people. The AFD becomes more and more a party for the workers. A lot of democratic party people don't go in the factories and speak with the people.

In Germany every electric car is a car that works with coal in reality, because our power is coming not from gas plants, not from nuclear power plants. They are coming from old coal plants. So it's a fake.
