I saw a chance to academically cooperate with an university in Dresden. I wanted to learn more about the city and found this: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50266955 (Sorry for a BBC link).
Information says that Dresden is far-right leaning. I am a Pole, and given that neo-nazi sentiments arise in Germany (e.g. the popularity of AfD), I decided to do not apply for this cooperation. Maybe academics are statistically less far-right and neo-nazi, maybe I use “collective responsibility”, but this simply disgust me.
The AfD is currently getting 35% in surveys in saxony, meaning the majority of people does not support the AfD.
I’d even argue that right wing parties are way bigger in Poland (PiS and Konfederacja) than they are in Saxony or Dresden.
