German debate: years of political neglect push people into the streets

Original: Wenn Menschen, die jahrelang politisch nicht gesehen und beachtet werden, dann also aus Frust und Verzweiflung auf die S

A German-language discussion is asking why people who have been politically ignored for years take to the streets out of frustration and desperation, and whether they are then unfairly labelled left-wing radical. The argument running through it is that the fault lies instead with poor, mostly neoliberal policy and politically promoted inequality rather than with the protesters themselves.

Why now: People are debating whether protest born of long-term political neglect is wrongly framed as radicalism instead of a response to neoliberal policy and inequality.
