Democracy Under Pressure: Prof. Dr. Ursula Münch Analyzes Current Dangers
How stable is our democratic constitutional state in times of political crises, declining trust, and growing anti-pluralistic forces? The online lecture The Threat to the Democratic Constitutional State addresses central questions of our political present on October 7, 2026.
