Maja Wiens

Maja Wiens is a controversial figure known for her leadership role in the activist group 'Omas gegen rechts' (Grandmothers Against the Right). She gained notoriety due to her past as an informant for the Stasi, the secret police of East Germany, where she worked from 1978 to 1983. Her admission of being a 'bad unofficial collaborator' has sparked public debate about the integrity and credibility of her current activism, as she seeks to position herself as a champion of civil courage while having contributed to the repression of dissent during her time with the Stasi.
