Die Prinzen Singer Confronts ZDF Viewer On Air, Defends Antifascism

The on-air exchange turned a soft morning show slot into a blunt stand for democratic values.

Overview

  • Sebastian Krumbiegel, appearing on ZDF’s Volle Kanne on Wednesday, answered a viewer who called his views “Antifa slogans” by asking on camera, “Bist du Faschist, oder was?”
  • He defined Antifa as antifascism, said every democrat should be an antifascist, and signed off with “Kein lieber Gruß an Mirko.”
  • The musician pushed for fairer taxes, arguing that billionaires should contribute more and saying he gladly pays taxes out of solidarity.
  • He cautioned frustrated voters against choosing the far right, saying that those parties do not represent their interests.
  • Coverage from national outlets across the spectrum amplified the clip on April 29 and 30, as he also discussed Die Prinzen’s planned farewell tour and vowed not to continue as a “Mogelpackung.”
