Last fall, the Thuringian regional association of the AfD presented a 5-point plan in the event of government participation. The MDR summarizes point three as follows: “No more money for democracy, diversity and commitment against right-wing extremism” This refers to the state’s own “Denk-Bunt” program, which finances civil society projects with around 6.1 million euros per year.

If this state program is canceled, those affected by right- wing extremist violence would hardly have any help and advice available in Thuringia.
