Playing with biblical quotations was a central part of the FPÖ election campaign in the US, with Donald Trump selling his own Bible and basing it on support from radical clerical circles. What role does religion play in politics, how is it exploited by right-wing extremists and what consequences does this have for people who suffer from the fear of falling?
COMÚN Foundation dedicates the second event of its series “Contested democracy“At the Volkstheater Vienna and its connections to the election campaign in the US and the rise of right-wing extremism in Austria & Germany. Guests include journalist and author Annika Brockschmidt (including “America's Holy Warrior”) and economist and author Oliver Nachtwey (including “The Descent Society”).
Host & COMÚN president Veronika Born Mena also welcomes Innsbruck political scientist Paul Schuerer-Eigner to the Red Bar of the Volksteater. All information about the event series can be found at comun.at/demokratie.
