CORRECTIV-Recherche: Niemand kann sagen, er hätte es nicht gewusst – Die ungeheuerlichen Pläne der AfD

In the organizer's words:

Author Marcus Bensmann in conversation with Christian Werthschulte

In this book, Marcus Bensmann brings together the findings of many years of research into the AfD by the CORRECTIV network. Based on their own statements, he reconstructs the party's plans: from the Potsdam secret meeting to the planned abolition of fundamental values.

As a right-wing extremism expert for the CORRECTIV research network, Marcus Bensmann has been present at party conferences, district assemblies and other meetings of the right-wing scene for years, analysing the statements and programmes of right-wing networks and the books of their protagonists, following the development of the AfD from the professorial anti-euro party to the radical right-wing takeover by the völkisch wing and the immense radicalization at the top of the party.

In this book, Bensmann uses the results of many years of CORRECTIV research to put together the plans being pursued by the radicals at the top of the party and their whisperers, and what will be in store for Germany if they are actually able to do what they really want: It's about the expulsion of millions of people, turning towards Russia and China and the abolition of universal human rights.

Marcus Bensmann ("a brilliant investigative reporter", Markus Lanz) spent 20 years reporting for German media in Central Asia, the Caucasus, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq. He has been researching for CORRECTIV since 2014, including as an expert on the New Right.

Christian Werthschulte, journalist, works for Stadtrevue, taz, DLF and WDR on pop and politics.

The event will take place in the sprachraum of the city library. This is located diagonally opposite the Central Library on Josef-Haubrich-Hof, in the building of the Cologne Adult Education Center. The entrance is on the long side facing the courtyard.
