This 2026 edition was the very first time I went to Fusion, and I truly hope I can come back to this magical place. Seeing the recent developments with the recent elections in Saksen-Anhalt and then checking the voting polls for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern makes me slightly scared, as these kind of developments will give these kind of parties more momentum to really "break through". There could also be a board installed in Mecklenurg-Vorpommern who will attempt to impose specific ideas or rules on top of the festival which clearly do not align with our values.
I sincerely hope that in 2028 there will not be a "Fusion light" festival or a version where we cannot be free. How "factual" are my fears? I feel somewhat scared (which I should not do!) that even if the festival is legally well protected, that certain parties will do everything within their "power" to ruin the festival or to attempt to escalate their rights. I am also wondering how well legally protected Fusion is. If you have something to say which you do not want to put on a public forum, then please DM me, thanks!
