Deutschland: Karpfen gegen rechts – der Teichreiniger und die „AfDeppen“
Dennis Froese war ein ganz normaler Teichpfleger aus Brandenburg. Seit Kurzem legt er sich im Internet täglich mit AfD-Wählern an – und riskiert dafür mehr als schlechte Google-Bewertungen.
Oranienburg – Each morning, a pond cleaner from a small Brandenburg town begins his day by checking his smartphone for any online insults he may have received. Words like "piece of crap," "brainless trash," "human waste," or even "you're in the woods, you just need a rope now" are thrown at him. Then, he responds in kind. Hundreds of thousands witness this exchange.
Dennis Froese is, as far as it can be determined, an ordinary pond cleaner. Once a painter, a former economist, and now running an aquarium rental business, Froese is a 44-year-old slender man in a hoodie, constantly wearing sunglasses due to his migraines. He is a hired hand for municipalities and private individuals when ponds and larger bodies of water become overly covered in vegetation.
However, Froese is not an ordinary pond cleaner. He stands firmly against the AfD, demonstrating that even a pond cleaner can oppose a political party. For him, it is clear that this must happen on social media, where people gather.
