A Citizen of the People - Ein Volksbürger
Short url:
A play performed in the Federal Press Conference in Berlin, produced by Nico and the Navigators.
On the eve of his landslide victory in an unnamed German federal state Dominik Arndt does not taunt his opponents, but vows to focus “on what we share, rather than what divides us”. The threat that Arndt poses to liberal democracy is nonetheless real, and even more dangerous because it is so insidious. By the end of A Citizen of the People, the Democratic Alliance has staged a coup without firing a shot.

I don’t think the radical rhetoric is the key ingredient to what makes an authoritarian populist. A constitution can not only be upended from the political fringes, but also through the centre.
- Maximilian Steinbeis, "Ein Volksbürger" author and legal journalist
