ABSTRACT
Arson attacks and murders, pogroms, and terror perpetrated by right-wing extremists – these continue to be part of German reality, more than 25 years after the “asylum compromise”. The police are constantly forced to correct upwards the number of victims of right-wing extremism. The presence today of the notion of the centre is inseparably linked to the early history of Europe and to the postwar history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The social sciences make a fundamental distinction between attitudes and behaviour, with attitudes not necessarily translating into behaviour. The refugee movement to Europe also gave the AfD the issue that has since carried it from one electoral success to the other. The Berkeley Group understood human behaviour primarily as an expression of the desires and conflicts that extend from the childhood past into the adult present.
