DEFENDING DEMOCRACY AGAINST DONALD TRUMP<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The inauguration of Donald Trump as 47th president of the United States signifies a major setback for democratic forces and the left. A convicted felon in the White House in an alliance with a significant number of tech billionaires will try to shape a new future for American society. The MAGA Make America Great Again movement provides the new leaders with a mass base in the country that no other politician of the far right has ever had. But civil society is strong, despite the fact that America makes a turn to the right. In cities and states Democrats promise resistance against human rights violations instigated from Washington.
\nHow strong are the safeguards of the American society against authoritarian temptations? How can resistance against the Trump administration be built? What does the turn of the United States to the far right mean for the world? These are some of the questions we will discuss with the American journalist Katrina vanden Heuvel<\/p>\n

Raimund L\u00f6w, <\/strong>Journalist, author, and historian, he is the head of Falter Radio. Previously, he had been reporting for ORF as a foreign correspondent since the 1980s, covering locations such as Moscow, Brussels, Washington, and Beijing.<\/p>\n

Katrina vanden Heuvel, <\/strong>editorial director and publisher of The Nation (served as editor of the magazine from 1995 to 2019) and one of the most prominent voices of the American Left. She has written several books, writes in the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Guardian and frequently appears on CNN, ABC and Democracy Now.<\/p>\n
