Nationwide Protest: Tens of Thousands Demonstrate Against Right-Wing Extremism
Across Germany, thousands are demanding a clear stance against right-wing views on colourful protest marches. Following the AfD election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, calls for a ban are getting louder.
Tens of thousands of people demonstrated across Germany against right-wing extremism and the AfD party. The largest protests took place in Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Berlin, and Munich, with 20,000, 25,000, 18,000-32,000, and 12,000 people attending respectively. The demonstrations were sparked by the AfD's strong performance in the recent Saxony-Anhalt state election, where it won nearly 44% of the vote.
The protests were part of a nationwide movement, with some cities hosting events as part of the "PRÜF" protest series, which calls for the AfD to be reviewed by the Federal Constitutional Court.
