Ich vermute, bei einer IS-Fahne wäre die Aufregung deutlich größer. 962527563

Meret Stephan @meretstephan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025🤷♂️ So, what happened with the Green party? The party has shifted its stance on migration from 2021 to 2024, adopting a more critical position after entering government. This shift has resulted in the loss of its status as an 'institutional ally' of anti-racist protesters. 7/8 131
Meret Stephan @meretstephan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025These results hold strong across alternative specs: repeated protest exposure (number of events) and protest participants (various operationalization). 6/8 110
Meret Stephan @meretstephan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025We find: 1) local anti-racist protest reduced AfD vote shares in German Federal Election 2021 and in the European Election 2024; 2) Green benefitted from anti-racist protests in the German Federal Election 2021, but not anymore in the European Election 2024. 5/8 131
Meret Stephan @meretstephan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025🧮Methodologically, we employ a diff-in-diff design to study how local anti-racist protests affected anti-migration (AfD) and pro-migration (Green party) vote share. 4/8 110
Meret Stephan @meretstephan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025To answer the question, we study two cases: 1⃣ Protests following the racist murder in Hanau in 2020 -> 2021 German Federal Election results 2⃣ Protests following the uncovering of mass deportation plans in 2024 -> 2024 European Election results 3/8 110
