Wolfgang Niedecken Calls for Media Support in Fight Against Right-Wing Extremism

The musician and activist criticized the lack of radio play for anti-right-wing songs during his lifetime achievement award acceptance at the Radio Regenbogen Awards.

Wolfgang Niedecken, co-founder of the 'Arsch huh, Zäng ussenander' initiative, continues to advocate against right-wing extremism through music and public engagement.
At the Radio Regenbogen Awards on April 5, 2025, Niedecken criticized the media for not broadcasting anti-right-wing songs, calling for greater openness and support.
He emphasized the importance of media collaboration in amplifying messages against racism and neo-Nazism, stating that artists are eager for their work to be heard.
Niedecken was honored with a lifetime achievement award, recognizing his contributions to both music and social activism over decades.
The 'Arsch huh, Zäng ussenander' initiative, which he co-founded, previously mobilized 100,000 people in Cologne in 1992 for a demonstration against right-wing extremism.
