Klaas Heufer-Umlauf: The AfD and “three meters curb”

Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (41) is concerned about the current political situation. With a view to the AfD, the television presenter, which is often on the side of Joko Winterscheidt (46), has a preliminary signator: “What scares me is not that certain figures appear – but that people choose them.”

Heufer-Umlauf becomes clear in his criticism: “The individual people and their speeches and appearances look ridiculous. It is worse that it still catches and it works that this blunt notch strikes individual messages, and they are still so stupid and wrong. […] Imagine that instead of an empty shell like Alice Weidel would come to someone who can talk really well. “

Many people obviously don’t care how far the AfD has already got. “As an AfD, you could currently set up three meters of curb – and even dignity,” the moderator is quoted. The 41-year-old also complains that “hardly any real political argument is taking place”. “And the instruments with which one used to argue no longer apply,” continues Heufer-Umlauf. You have to take care of it before, not yourself “in this emotional arena […]coupled from facts “to be pulled.

In the past, Heufer-Umlauf and Winterscheidt have often expressed themselves critically and drew attention to grievances. In the show “Joko and Klaas against ProSieben”, the duo can earn live at the broadcaster for free design.

For example, the two already used this time to present a device called “Desulted Pro Max”, with which right -wing populist statements should simply be invalidated. The article “Men’s Worlds” was about sexualized violence, in “A Short Story of Moria” about the conditions in the Moria refugee camp. In 2021, the two in cooperation with ProSieben set up an approximately seven -hour project in this context. Under the name “Nursing is #disabled”, the nursing emergency in Germany was discussed.
