Khan Warns of Threats to Democracy Amid Funding Cuts
Greens politician Khan cautions that proposed reductions in state funding for democracy initiatives could undermine democratic structures and empower extremist forces.
In a recent interview with Deutschlandfunk, Khan expressed concern over the government’s plans to restructure the “Democracy Live!” program, which may lead to funding cuts for various organizations, including the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, BUND, and the Central Council of Jews in Germany. Federal Minister for Family Affairs Prien aims to reassess the effectiveness of the funding law, but Khan argues that diminishing support for democracy projects could inadvertently strengthen those who threaten democratic values. This discussion took place on March 25, 2026.
