In Erfurt, Germany, a group of women in their 70s, part of the nationwide “Grandmas against the far-right” movement, are actively engaging with the public to counter the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which leads the polls in Thuringia ahead of state elections. Cofounder Gabriele Wölke-Rebhan emphasizes the importance of speaking out against hate, drawing parallels to the rise of the Nazis. These women aim to reconnect with AfD supporters to revive debate and potentially change minds, though their efforts face significant challenges.
