Latest News: Protests Against The Right Wing - Find Demos Near You!

Is Germany facing a surge of right-wing extremism, and are its citizens rising up in protest? The answer, resoundingly, is yes, and the streets are filled with dissent against the growing tide of hate. The rise of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and related ideologies has sparked a wave of demonstrations across the nation, with citizens mobilizing to defend democracy, human rights, and an open society.

From Berlin to Mainz, from Hesse to the Baltic coast, the call to action echoes: demonstrations are planned, rallies are organized, and workshops are held to combat what many see as a dangerous shift towards the right. The protests are not merely reactions; they are proactive displays of solidarity, fueled by a desire to preserve the values of inclusivity and tolerance. The scale of these movements is remarkable, with thousands turning out to make their voices heard, to challenge the rhetoric of hate, and to stand in opposition to those who seek to divide and marginalize.
