Explore a critical one-hour conference talk from the 38th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3) examining Germany's rapid shift towards authoritarian policies. Analyze how the "Progress Coalition" has recently undermined fundamental rights, particularly through the controversial "Security Package" which includes measures like cutting social benefits for refugees, establishing biometric databases, and combining various data sources for analysis. Learn how these developments, accelerated after the Solingen attack, represent a concerning trend where politicians conflate Islamic terrorism with migration policy. Understand the historical context of this authoritarian turn, tracing how the current coalition government has gradually moved away from its initial progressive promises. Discover why stronger opposition to these measures is necessary to preserve fundamental freedoms and rights for the future. The presentation, delivered by anna and Chris Köver, offers crucial insights into defending democratic values against increasing authoritarian tendencies in German politics.
