  • In the fully occupied event hall, Roth presented Zonen der Angst and discussed political successes, pressures and personal defeats with HZ editor-in-chief Kai Struthoff.

  • Roth grew up in Kleinensee, which was surrounded by the inner-German border on three sides until 1989, joined the SPD early and entered the Bundestag as a direct candidate in 1998 at age 28.

  • By his own account, high expectations from himself and others ultimately contributed to a mental illness before he voluntarily left politics, and his professional future is currently unclear.

  • Roth intends to remain politically engaged and loyal to the SPD, continues to focus on Eastern Europe and views the survival of liberal democracy as a central challenge amid hatred and pressure.
  • Freedom, Roth says, is not only something that frees, it also sometimes weighs on us.
