Sally Lisa Starken

Tour 2026
When the fringe right rules

The well-known political enlightener and bestselling author SALLY LISA STARKEN is going on a live tour with her new book "Wenn der rechte Rand regiert" in spring 2026 to show what would happen if the AfD came to power in Germany - and what we can do about it.
What happens when parties like the AfD, once classified as radical, suddenly reach the center of society or take on government responsibility? When populism becomes a method and democratic institutions come under pressure? Starken shows clearly and uncompromisingly that the shift to the right is not a coincidence, but a strategy. And it is not just happening "somewhere else" - it can also affect us. On her travels in the USA, Italy and Poland, she has experienced how quickly democracies topple when authoritarian forces are underestimated and populist narratives become the norm.
Her live program sums up the most important lessons from these trips: the mistakes democracies make time and again, the patterns populists use everywhere and how we can prevent this development from happening again in Germany. "Wenn der rechte Rand regiert" is more than just a book - it is a warning signal. And a call to act now, before others determine our future.
