Summary
The article reports that the AfD (Alternative for Germany) party, with support from the CDU, has successfully pushed the Ilm-Kreis district in Thuringia to reject federal and state funding for the "Demokratie Leben" (Living Democracy) program, which supports projects against right-wing extremism and youth work. This decision effectively ends the program in the district, highlighting the growing influence of far-right politics in local governance in Thuringia.
