MADRID, 16 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The prime minister of the German region of Bavaria, Markus Soeder, has warned of a possible resurgence of far-right extremism due to the energy crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine.
In an interview with the newspaper ‘Bild’, Soeder, at the time a serious candidate for the German Chancellery, stressed that “fear and uncertainty feed extremism.”
“The mix of crises can lead to a destabilization of democracy,” explained Soeder.
The minister recalled, in this regard, the growth experienced by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the state of Lower Saxony, in the north, as well as in areas of the east of the country.
“Democratic parties must show a clear position, discuss less and encourage citizens more,” he assured.
