Rapper Danger Dan wanted to perform on ZDF. He wanted to sing in the show 'Die Anstalt'. The song is called 'Keine Angst'. The pianist Igor Levit wanted to help him. Shortly before the show, ZDF canceled the performance. The bosses of ZDF decided this. They think the lyrics are dangerous. The lyrics could be a call to violence. This does not fit the rules of ZDF.
The team of 'Die Anstalt' is angry. They think the decision is cowardly. They wanted to show the song. Then they wanted to talk about it. The journalists' union is also against the ban. They say: The editors must decide for themselves. Danger Dan thinks the ban is bad for freedom of art. He says: I do not call for violence. I want to fight against right-wing extremism.
The song is about resistance against Nazis. Danger Dan gives tips for groups. They should distribute stickers. They should collect money. He says: People cannot rely only on the state. He greets people from the left scene. These people had problems with the law. ZDF wants to report on the song later. The next episode of 'Die Anstalt' is on July 21.
