Overview

  • In ARD’s “Die 100 – What Moves Germany” on Monday, 100 participants were asked to take sides on reinstating conscription, with about 74 in favor and 22 opposed.
  • Eighteen-year-old Jan Wagner said he would not defend Germany if attacked and would rather live under Putin than endure war in Germany.
  • Student Bennet Severin responded by citing documented atrocities in Bucha as boos and buzzers sounded across the studio.

  • Social-media reactions ranged from accusations of airing pro-Russian propaganda and opaque casting to defenses of free expression, with no reported official sanctions or policy changes.
