There was one person you couldn't avoid online before the last federal election: Heidi Reichinnek, co-chair of the Die Linke party. Her TikToks and her "firewall speech" inspired millions, the election campaign became exciting again in the last few meters and the Left Party mastered the 5% hurdle.
At re:publica 25, Heidi Reichinnek talks to re:publica co-founder Johnny Haeusler about the new role of social media in politics and what it takes to remain credible in a polarized environment.
The conversation is part of the program of re:publica 25, the festival for the digital society taking place this year from 26-28 May 2025 at STATION Berlin. Over the three days of the event, participants can expect a varied and diverse program with keynotes, discussions, workshops, meetups and other exciting formats on the most important issues facing our digital society.
