Overview

  • Dieter Hallervorden addressed a Good Friday peace procession in Dresden via video, condemning German 'kriegstüchtig' policies and Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich's stance on Gaza.
  • The event was attended by far-right groups, including the Freie Sachsen and the controversial politician Diether Dehm, who facilitated Hallervorden's appearance.
  • Hallervorden's participation has intensified public criticism, with some accusing him of becoming a 'mascot of right-wing populists.'
  • This follows recent controversy over his use of racial slurs in an ARD sketch, which reignited debates on racism and artistic responsibility.
  • Hallervorden denies seeking support from extremists, stating any such alignment is a misunderstanding, but scrutiny over his actions continues to grow.
