It's love at first sight for both, but neither dares confess their feelings to the other.

And an increasingly unforgiving and heated rhetoric can be observed in this country as well. In his disturbing wake-up call, Birand Bingül suggests that this is part of a propaganda strategy that seeks the collapse of political and social dialogue - and thus attacks the very core of liberal democracy. What is clear is this: To protect our democracy, we must see through the propaganda, because only then can we develop counter-strategies.
