SCHWARZ ROT BRAUN - 1 Jahr nach der Correctiv-Recherche zum Geheimplan gegen Deutschland

In the organizer's words:

In his lecture, Jean Peters takes us on the most explosive undercover research of the past year. Together with CORRECTIV, he uncovered the "secret plan against Germany" of right-wing extremist networks, which triggered massive demonstrations in Germany. But one year later, the AfD seems largely unaffected.

The journalist gives exclusive insights behind the scenes of this explosive revelation and discusses with the audience: What did the investigation actually achieve? Was it a turning point for democracy or just a brief outcry from the middle classes?

Peters also sheds light on the challenges of modern investigative work in times of right-wing extremism, big tech and a PR-dominated public sphere. He shows how investigative journalism can provide orientation, promote collective action and counteract the growing ignorance of facts.

An evening full of frightening insights, surprising twists and turns and the central question: How can we save democracy from the abyss?

Tickets will be available from next Monday at jeanpeters.tickettoaster.de and at all known advance booking offices.
