Jan Böhmermann and his team from the late-night show Neo Magazin Royale went to Dresden to understand why right-wing populism finds so much acceptance there. Together with Ralf Kabelka, Moritz Neumeier, and the audience in the Staatsoperette Dresden, he dedicates the show to the question of whether it is helpful or counterproductive to make them the subject of his jokes again and again.
