"Saving the World with the Left with Caroline Peters and Klaus Lederer"

Saving the World with the Left Hand
Caroline Peters and Klaus Lederer
After the defeat of Orbán in the Hungarian parliamentary elections in April 2026, the publicist Robert Misik remarked: "The fact that the democratic left has been demoralized and unsuccessfully fighting against Orbán for 15 years, and then a moderate conservative comes along and cleverly sweeps the autocrat away, should give us pause for thought." In any case, the democratic left today seems to oscillate between confusion, powerlessness and anger, self-absorption and licking its wounds. Successes seem rare, while demoralizing events occur very frequently. Is "left" simply out of touch with the times? Or are there still reasons and grounds to insist on changing the world "from the left"? How would democratic leftist politics need to change in order to regain the offensive? Actress Caroline Peters and former Berlin mayor and cultural senator Klaus Lederer, author of the book "Saving the World with the Left Hand," will discuss this with you and think together about it.
