Like It Is… #28: Die Urbane
This week we’re talking to Raphael Hillebrand and Niki Drakos from Die Urbane. Eine HipHop Partei about their party philosophy and what to expect from them this election year. We’re also revisiting election fall-out in Uganda and Myanmar and conflict brewing in Northern Ireland, and reminding you why the AfD isn’t “Germany, but normal.”
Hosted by Diana Arce (she/her), Tina Lee (she/her), and Miriam Aced (she/her) in absentia. Brought to you by Artists Without a Cause, Wählen Gegen Rechts and Migration Voter.
