earth. for saving good morning to us tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world ideas to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions by global ideas being born series of global 3000 on t.w. and on line. kids lives in kenya it's the city which has come to symbolize the rise of the far right in eastern germany the demonstrations took place a year ago now people in chemist's and across the german state of saxony are going to the polls to elect a new state parliament moment i still haven't decided who to vote for in the parliamentary elections. it may be a state election but it's attracting interest across germany the right wing populist a.f.d. party hopes to come out the big winner saxony must decide which direction it plans

to take and so does nick at c.s.k. . nick has been doing martial arts since he was 8 years old he specialized in m.m.a. for mixed martial arts. colorful martial arts has probably contributed greatly to my self-image it's given me a lot of self-confidence in dicey situations where you're inclined to panic or the adrenaline starts pumping. the panic or should i say that doesn't happen so much now because i just know the situation better and i've met kate. and they can see esky is 28 years old 5 years ago he opened his own martial arts

studio he knows the german m.m.a. scene well and he says it's closely connected to the neo nazi saying especially in a student gemini. shop and the worst case i've experienced was at a competition and where people always booed the foreigners during the finals the crowd chanted who. short for the right wing group hooligans nazis racists. this video is an ad for the well known right wing m.m.a. event camp dinny balloon or fun of the knee belongs it's an annual meeting for right wing extremists in saxony disguised as a sporting event nick and his friend david know all about 5 of the need looms which right wing parties use to attract new voters. blame of the trouble is it's a recognised and consciously public right wing event they're not stupid they promote

it like a normal and a fight but what doesn't belong to the sport is the showing of symbols. of playing for them who are in it for the hang of the show and they hang up flags which really belong to the right wing scene. the problem is when the problem is they mix their politics with the martial arts. the politicians make appearances and try to manipulate people like mentions when you put a real you hear that politicians come and make speeches fishing for votes image to make was born in 10 minutes and spent most of his life here he's encountered nazis outside the martial arts scene too even in school we had to be careful who he made friends with the. you know in my youth i naturally had a bit of contact with them at school to. lunch and you had to decide on your attitude towards them. firstly one of them was really into grated into the neo nazi

scene so my attitude towards him was clear that the mind and body could never entirely avoid contact with neo nazi's in his youth he did try to stay away from them he takes us to the place where a german of cuban descent was stabbed a year ago he is to get thinks this is the memorial for daniel h. who was murdered here on august 26th 2018. or more the voter his death made headlines across germany so did the demonstrations afterwards around the col marks monument one of the city's landmarks everybody. everybody can know it's in 28 chain just the suspicion that asylum seeker killed daniel was enough for sex and he's far right same to take to the streets beyond hook and other politicians from the i have to be much side by side with neo nazis they chanted nazi slogans and did hitler salutes and attacks politicians and foreign looking

passers by the police were outnumbered and overwhelmed. nic could c.s.k. says the demonstrations changed his city since then it's become more polarized the different political camps are more opposed than ever. before and the tone in camden has become more aggressive for its divided groups of friends even my own family a bit. for instance nick and his grandparents often don't see eye to eye. hello there is a big today they've come downtown to have a visit with him he gets. here. then you can it's when it was still part of communist east germany much has changed since then and they don't feel safe here anymore. and it's $1000.00 arts and i can't go out anymore at night i don't dare go into the city that's down it wasn't like that before don't beat

around the bush it's simple everyone says it's the asylum seekers then if we had more law enforcement and police the feeling would be better but it so you had. defeated bessel attempt the police are getting huge reinforcements up in a suit was located where i have something against people who have committed crimes your having to be kept here to comply with some international legal practice ration internet service. when it's not possible to deport them to venice and for an american history but. those are the ones who are a burden to us the us since the here in the woods but alas they skipped can i was and of course there's no problem with foreigners i grew up in a system in a world that's totally globalized and that only functions through globalization and people say throw out all the foreigners but our country couldn't survive without them this week so for me it's not

a question of with or without foreigners things can only function if we work together on the phone to me on. nick who really likes to talk with his grandparents especially about politics but he finds this sometimes intolerant though he'd never say that to their faces and in front of the camera they're all a bit reticent to hold a feelings on this i did not make this issue prejudicially what do you think about the political direction changing the f.t. getting more powerful and giving the far right a boost mr dixon to assure you that. but that also means that the people on the left will also get more organized and that would likely provoke more riots but would see other night after the election because if the f.t. comes in 1st protests will increase not only will people protest more they're unlikely to do it peacefully which will lead to rioting i'm pretty sure of that since you. have. nick and his friends enjoy

a barbecue none of them i have to supporters and you can mix has a far right problem they say lost is demonstrations were exaggerated by the media they more worried about the city's image shows i only learned about what happened from the media apparently people in kemet to stand for next to no reason there's a bit of latent fear them this case has been exploited by all sides. and i'd say oh sure that's what it was fully present in the media as if everyone in the demo was right wing but that's not how it was said the brass majority were simply concerned funds session i found it really shocking that even in america porting on kemet somewhat was happening here people must decide for themselves how much importance to place on it that's probably why so many people myself included are afraid to let our children play alone outdoors which was once totally normal.

but so few of them give what you know as a freedom fighter something i feel the reporting of what happened here encampments was exaggerated i stated that it was all very extreme right wing this. for me what took place wasn't just an extreme right wing event it is far from it i don't like what's become of it was 6 theme of kemet is image has been damaged. i've missed us for so tossing that i didn't interest the media at the time and it doesn't interest anyone now at the meeting them it's an interest c o 2 and it was a little hit skin. just ahead of the state elections the parties are making a last minute attempt to woo the vote is. at the social democrat stand nick talks with candidate. to see if this can do you think that can it's really has

a problem with racism or is it somewhat exaggerated if this is what is your opinion . if you dare to go as a standard that says i think there's no german city that's free of racism i believe that we have a big problem with how we deal with racism and it is only that there are cities for instance rostock in mecklenburg for palmer which had problems with it for a very long time and also made negative headlines and time but they tackled it head on in that as happened when i get the feeling that in can next people avoid the topic because it's uncomfortable when you know they're afraid it will harm them just to name it but the silence only makes things worse for modesty's especially. that silence is expected to benefit one party the most the a.f.d. saxony is the right wing populist stronghold so they've also put up a stand down town the a.f.c. candidate he tells nick it's the foreigners not the neo nazis who are the problem. hello. i'm nick nick you hi nick i'm stephanie i'm running for parliament.

i thought how come it was kim that's i come from chemists was born and raised here what 3 main statements does the f.t. have for cam that he's a fair caymans of disposable the biggest problem here in the city is with immigration and that's a given and you hear it from every citizen they're also unsettled because we're simply not used to that. type of life from east german times yes historically but but we had vietnamese cubans etc before going to trial right i know and that was good. but at the time they were in principle people who came here for professional training and then they went back home and took those skills with them and we have to look after our own people 1st those of work to pay taxes here for years and from what i'm told on during the discussion the a.f.p. stand is surrounded by demonstrators carrying brightly colored umbrellas it's

a protest action to show that chemist's to succumb to full and diverse place but the a.f.d. members don't take the protests seriously the atmosphere is still quite relaxed yet the incident shows candidates is divided. i'm sure i. asked of him thanks for the talk there were some good arguments made but as i said a few opinions that just don't fit with my world view and isn't my bet that. nick can't see as he won't vote for the a if that much is clear but he's afraid that the right wing populist could triumph he longs for a chemist's that's governed by tolerance and respect the way opponents treat one another in martial arts. yes i tried i. thank i.
