Explore how Germany’s Enemy Within is fuelling far-right violence and political turmoil. FOUR CORNERS brings the full story this Monday at 8:30pm.
In a significant political development, a far-right, anti-immigration party in Germany has secured its first state-level victory since the end of World War II.
This event has brought renewed attention to the country’s ongoing struggle with far-right extremism, a problem that has grown steadily in recent years, particularly affecting Jews, Muslims, and immigrant communities.
For decades, Germany has confronted its Nazi past, but recent violent incidents and extremist plots have demonstrated that far-right ideologies are far from eradicated. These conditions have enabled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party to gain traction, raising concerns about the future of democracy in the country.
This week, the investigative program Four Corners delves into this issue. In an episode titled Germany’s Enemy Within, filmmaker Evan Williams explores the roots of the AfD’s political rise and the broader surge in far-right activity. Speaking with intelligence experts, politicians, and survivors of far-right violence, Williams seeks to uncover how the current political landscape has allowed such movements to thrive.
