Gegenwind für die AfD: „Kein Schritt zurück“: Rund 20.000 bei Demo gegen AfD in NRW
Mit starker Mobilisierung, bunten Plakaten und klaren Worten setzen Tausende ein Zeichen gegen Ausgrenzung und gegen die AfD. Von Stricknadeln über das Krümelmonster: ein kreativer Protest.
Düsseldorf - Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Düsseldorf city center on Saturday under the banner "No Step Back! Against the AfD and Right-Wing Propaganda!" The protest, which saw a turnout of around 20,000, more than doubled the initial number of participants who had registered. Several political initiatives organized the demonstration to send a unified message for an open democratic society.
One slogan on the signs read, "No place for rat catchers," while another stated, "Now we can find out what we could have done for our grandparents!" Among the peaceful participants were the "Grandmas Against Right," who held signs that read, "Right-wing is only knit." Despite the beautiful weather, families with children also joined the protest march.
In the September 6th state election, the AfD received nearly 44% of the votes in Sachsen-Anhalt, achieving an absolute majority, but not quite.
