Large demonstrations took place in Germany against far-right forces and the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD). Deutsche Welle reported this yesterday.
In particular, in Frankfurt, according to police estimates, 35 thousand people came out to protest under the slogan “Defend Democracy.”
The same number of protesters gathered in Hanover, another 30 thousand people showed up in Dortmund, 20 thousand each in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, 18 thousand in Heidelberg, 16 thousand in Halle, 12 thousand in Kassel, 10 thousand each in Kassel Nuremberg, Wuppertal and Erfurt .
“Thousands and dozens more people rallied in smaller towns. Even on the North Sea resort island of Sylt, around 600 people turned out to protest,” the report said.
Demonstrators held signs that read “Fascism is not an alternative,” “No place for Nazis,” and “Nazis and anti-Semites must be expelled.”
Tens of thousands of people are also expected to demonstrate against the AfD today in Berlin, Cologne and Munich.
The reason for the protests was the participation of ADC representatives in a meeting of right-wing extremists. Participants discussed the idea of so-called “remigration” – forcing millions of foreigners and German citizens of migrant origin to leave the country.
In a speech on Friday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called remigration an “attack on democracy.” “I say it loud and clear: Right-wing extremists are attacking our democracy,” he said.
It was previously known that the Alternative for Germany party could be banned in Germany. This is what German Interior Minister Nancy Feser said.
