Thousands of Berliners demonstrates against the far-right AfD party.
In a striking display of public outrage, demonstrations against Germany's right-wing opposition party, the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD), took place in multiple cities across the nation this weekend. The protests, which occurred outdoors in Munich, Leipzig, Hamburg, Dresden, Chemnitz, Frankfurt, and Berlin, were held on a specific date, Monday, 22nd January.
The demonstration in Berlin, held on a dark January evening, saw an estimated 100,000 people gathering in front of the Reichstag, singing anti-fascist songs, waving signs, and chanting slogans such as "All of Berlin hates the AfD." Organizers claimed that as many as 350,000 people participated in the demonstration, making it one of the largest protests in recent German history.
The demonstrations were not focused on an individual or a specific policy, but were a collective expression of outrage against the AfD party as a whole. The protests were sparked by news of the AfD's secret meetings discussing the "remigration" or deportation of foreigners in Germany.
While there is no publicly available information about any specific group or person holding secret meetings on Monday, 22nd January, regarding the deportation or "re-migration" of foreigners in Germany, reports suggest that members of the CDU were also present at these meetings.
The demonstrations were not limited to Berlin. Over 1 million people across the country took part in these protests, making it clear that the sentiment against the AfD party is widespread. The police estimated the participation in each city, but the specific dates for each city's demonstration are not specified in the text.
These protests serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing against intolerance and promoting unity in a diverse society. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it is essential that citizens remain vigilant and voice their concerns when necessary.
