Documentary by SWR featuring a left-leaning expert, discussed by Dennis Klecker MdL

In a recent SWR documentary about digital misogyny, Veronika Kracher, a sociologist and author with a focus on topics such as violence against women, right-wing extremism, and antifeminist influences, was presented as a neutral expert. However, this choice has sparked controversy and criticism from the AfD fraction in the State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg.

Veronika Kracher, born in 1990, has been active since 2015 as an author and speaker, and is known for her hostility towards the AfD. Her past actions, which include justifying violence against AfD politicians, have raised concerns among the AfD fraction. They believe that her past actions make her unsuitable as a moral authority against online misogyny.

The AfD fraction's press spokesperson on media policy, Dennis Klecker MdL, has criticised the SWR's decision, stating that it represents a double standard. The AfD fraction expects an immediate clarification from the SWR, emphasising that they do not condone or justify violence against politicians of any party.

The press spokesperson for the AfD fraction in the State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg, Josef Walter, can be reached at [email protected]. The AfD fraction's office can be found at the House of Parliament: U32/305, Urbanstraße 32, 70182 Stuttgart, and their mailing address is Konrad-Adenauer-Straße 3, 70173 Stuttgart. The AfD fraction's press office can also be reached at the mobile number +49 711 2063-5042.

The criticism from the AfD fraction has brought attention to the selection process for experts in such documentaries, and the importance of ensuring a balanced and unbiased perspective. The SWR has yet to respond to the criticism, but the controversy continues to spark discussions around the role of experts in media and the impact of their past actions on their credibility.
