While the vast majority of Germans are pleased with the measures their politicians have taken to tackle the pandemic thus far, that hasn’t stopped corona skeptics from taking to the streets. Now right-wing extremists are looking to attract new supporters by taking advantage of the skeptics’ inherent mistrust of politicians.

Will they listen or will her message fall on deaf ears? A report by Viktoria Kleber.
