SUMMARY:What’s Behind Germany’s Querdenker Movement?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The intensity and scope of protests against the government measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 in Germany has surprised many observers. Self-stylized “lateral thinkers” have forged a coalition that encompasses far-right extremists but also anti-vaxxers who historically have aligned with the left. At both ends of the political spectrum\, protesters seem to share a deep-seated distrust in government. \nJoin the American Council on Germany\, Deutsches Haus at NYU\, and NYU’s Center for European and Mediterranean Studies for a panel discussion about the Querdenker\, their origins\, and the likely future developments in an historic election year. This event will feature Pia Lamberty\, Natascha Strobl\, and Konstantin von Notz\, and be moderated by Christian Martin.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fquerdenker-a-conversation-among-lamberty-strobl-von-notz-martin-tickets-134005438875″ css=”.vc_custom_1611592119684{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Pia Lamberty is a psychologist and expert in the field of conspiracy ideologies.
