After the federal elections and before the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia on 14 September, Dr. Andreas Püttmann takes a look at the current challenges to our democracy from right-wing populism. He points out "red lines" from a Christian perspective as well as active ways to strengthen democracy in times of radicalization.
Dr. Andreas Püttmann studied political science, history and constitutional law in Bonn and Paris and wrote his doctoral thesis on "Civil disobedience and Christian civic loyalty". After working as a journalist at WDR and Rheinischer Merkur, he worked as a research assistant in the Konrad Adenauer Foundation's talent promotion program. He has been a freelance journalist and consultant to political and church actors since 2002.
