| Description | German far-right extremists are using the ecological movement, long associated with “cuddly, left-leaning greens,” to win over a new generation of supporters. An environmental magazine, Umwelt und Activ (Environment and Active) is even thought to be a “camouflage publication” for the far-right National Democratic party (NPD), says the Guardian.
Gudrun Heinrich of the University of Rostock has written a study about “brown ecologists,” a reference to the Nazi brown shirts (so-called from the color of their uniforms) and their modern-day adherents. Two German publications, Der Spiegel and the Süddeutsche Zeitung have recently published articles about the “organic brown fellowship” (“Braune Bio-Kameradschaft”) and the “infiltration [Unterwanderung] of organic farming by the far right.” |
