Inclusion instead of extremism: Working group makes clear demands!
In Bremen, the ver.di working group for inclusion is strongly committed to countering right-wing extremist ideologies. The aim of the working group is not only to promote inclusion, but also to send a clear signal against hatred and agitation. “Diversity, tolerance, human rights, equality, solidarity and equal opportunities” are the core values that are particularly directed against active membership in the AfD and other right-wing extremist parties such as the NPD region-s-o-n.verdi.de reported.
The task of the working group is to promote democracy and tolerance within the company. Representing interests in a company plays a crucial role in protecting employee rights and strengthening democratic principles. Current commitment shows that the working group reacts to right-wing extremist tendencies, educates them and takes a clear stand.
Inclusion and political education
Civic education is a central component of democracy and requires committed citizens who actively participate in social life. It is of great importance that this education is accessible to everyone, although [bpb.de](https://www.bpb.de/lernen/inklusiv-politisch-bilden/334852/inklusion-als- task-politiker-bildung-im-democraten-staat/) points out that not all citizens have the opportunity or interest to become politically active. The values of inclusion are therefore also crucial in this context.
The challenges in political participation are diverse. People who are affected by exclusion in particular need targeted political education opportunities in order to be able to get involved better. These offerings must aim to take individual educational histories into account and promote participation in political processes.
Changing values in politics
The political landscape in Germany, particularly the AfD's stance, raises questions. According to aktion-mensch.de, the AfD, for example, rejects gender quotas and sees anti-discrimination laws as unnecessary. These positions are in stark contrast to the values of the ver.di working group, which advocates equality and equal opportunities.
In addition, the rejection of gender-appropriate language becomes clear in the discussion about gender issues, which illustrates the divergence between different political trends. There are also concerns that the AfD is taking a restrictive stance on social issues, for example by proposing to stop transferring social benefits to foreign accounts.
It is clear that the defense of democratic values and active participation in political processes is required. The ver.di working group makes a valuable contribution by working to promote positive social values and thus bringing a variety of voices into the political discussion.
