Entwicklungen und Wahlen in Frankreich und Deutschland - Auswirkungen auf die innere Sicherheit, insbesondere jüdisches Leben

In the organizer's words:

"It is clear today that there is no future for Jews in France. I tell everyone who is young that they should go to Israel or another safer country." With these words, Rabbi Moshe Sebbag addressed the Jews of the former Grande Nation after the elections in France. Len Pen's Rassemblement National was prevented from joining the government by a broad left-wing electoral alliance (Nouveau Front Populaire), even though it won the most votes. Unfortunately, this is no reason to breathe a sigh of relief, as the alliance's positions overlap considerably with those of the French far right. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the social climate for Jews is hardly improving. Overall, the threat to the rule of law and democracy is increasing, liberal ideas are losing popularity and the social center is eroding. What does the election in France mean for the future and what developments or effects can be observed for the situation in other countries? We would like to discuss these and other questions with you and our speaker Rebecca Schönenbach.
