Satisfaction with democracy in Germany has hit a new low, while the past is being idealized, and people are expressing a longing for a radical break. The longing for an authoritarian leader and antisemitic sentiments are also on the rise. These are key findings of the authoritarianism study presented Wednesday in Berlin, which has been conducted every two years since 2002. The study, led by the Else Frenkel-Brunswik Institute for Democracy Research at the University of Leipzig, is based on the answers to a questionnaire sent in by over 900 respondents, who the researchers say are a representative cross-section of the German population.
