Shortly before the state elections in his home state of Thuringia, singer Clueso is calling for people to vote and speaking out against radical forces. “Let’s come together again and not drift into extremes. I don’t want to wake up in a country where radicals rule,” wrote the musician (“Winner”, “Flight Mode”) on Instagram. The democratic state is an achievement worth fighting for. It provides the basis for a great sense of togetherness, the 44-year-old continued. “Please go and vote and make your voice heard.” Clueso from Erfurt recently made a name for himself as the singer of the official Olympic song for the German team.
A new state parliament will be elected in Thuringia on Sunday. According to surveys, the AfD, which the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Thuringia classifies as definitely right-wing extremist, could become the strongest force in parliament.
