“The Fight for Human Rights begins with the Elimination of Corruption”

Potsdam, 7 October 2021. With the presentation of the M100 Media Award to Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny and his anti-corruption foundation FBK, the international media conference M100 Sanssouci Colloquium came to a glittering and moving conclusion last night at the Palace Theatre in the Neues Palais. Instead of the imprisoned Navalny, his campaign manager and close confidant Leonid Volkov accepted the award, which was presented to him by Potsdam’s Lord Mayor Mike Schubert. The laudation was given by FDP leader Christian Lindner, who, in the midst of exciting coalition negotiations, took the time to give the central political speech of the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium for the second time since 2018.
Under the title “From Crisis in Perpetuity to Democratic Resilience”, around 80 international representatives from the media, politics and academia had previously discussed in a virtual format the challenges currently facing politics, society, academia and the media and how the resilience of democracy can be strengthened.

M100 Board Member Stephan-Andreas Casdorff on Navalny as this year’s M100 Awardee

M100 Board Member Stephan-Andreas Casdorff, Publisher of Der Tagesspiegel on this year’s M100 Awardee:

”Alexei Navalny, this year’s award winner – who else? After all, everything is on the line: defending freedom of expression, democratic values in general, which include an independent opposition, fair judicial procedures and the right to exercise basic human rights. Yes indeed, and Alexei Navalny, because he has become a symbol: for almost 400 political prisoners in Russia, for murdered politicians and journalists and for the struggle against increasing autocracy in Europe.”
