The problem: although the wave of demonstrations is widespread, there is a lack of leadership. “The moment has not yet come when the regime is seriously in danger. What is currently missing is a central organization of the protests and a vision for the time after. There are no leaders,” Hans-Jakob Schindler, head of the Berlin think tank Counter Extremism Project, told our editorial team. “But what is even more crucial is that parts of the regime must become disloyal to the leadership. That is not yet the case, but given the enormous scale of the economic crisis, it could lead to disruptions in the power structure in the medium term. A revolution must be organized, and it also needs sympathizers on the other side.”
