Under the motto "Not Completely Screwed Yet," the band Feine Sahne Fischfilet from Rostock & Greifswald is launching a campaign for the upcoming state elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on September 4, 2016. The band expresses concern in an online statement about the rightward shift in German society. This is also clearly reflected in the election results of recent elections in other federal states. While it may not be possible to prevent the AfD from entering and perhaps even the NPD from re-entering, they do not want to passively watch as inhumane attitudes gain more ground.
The band writes on their website:
Therefore, we as Feine Sahne Fischfilet thought that now is the perfect time to finally get our asses up. In every province, in every village, in every small town, there are good people who want to make a difference and live alternatives to the right-wing dreariness. People who do not care where you come from, but pay attention to what you have in your heart. People who are creating something new and building culture in regions that have already been almost completely abandoned by the democratic parties.
The goal is to set a sign in alliance with many social groups and individuals who are committed against racism, exclusion, and nationalism, and not to leave the provinces to the haters and fearmongers. The band knows that there are people everywhere in their federal state, even in the smallest villages and communities, who are committed to a solidarity-based and humane coexistence. The campaign has nothing to do with parties or election campaigns. "We will not rely on parties in our actions," the band continues, "but will confidently and independently go into the regions that have long been abandoned by the established parties."
This approach is not surprising, as it shows how desperate the CDU and SPD are due to their low poll numbers in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, as well as in Berlin and Hamburg, and they now have no qualms about adopting even the most reactionary and populist demands from the right to scrape together every half percent they can from the AfD. Feine Sahne Fischfilet now wants to counter this rightward shift: "From football tournaments to communal cooking, readings, parties, lectures, and concerts. It starts now!"
There are almost daily events and actions related to this. The exact dates of the events are provided on the specially created campaign page:
