Tens of thousands protest across Germany after far-right party’s mass deportation meetings

More than 100,000 people turned out across Germany on Saturday in protest against the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party.

The protests began after it emerged AfD party members had attended meetings with neo-Nazis and other extremists to discuss the mass deportation of migrants, asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin deemed to have failed to integrate. Protests were held in about 100 locations across Germany from Friday through the weekend, including in Berlin on Sunday.

“Massive protests against self preservation in Germany”

[localCrows]

According to the german Tagesschau there were 250, 000 people just in Munich. The police had to stop the demonstration because they didn't expect so many to come.
Plus tens of thousands in many other cities across the country.

It was peaceful btw.

"we love democracy but we want to undemocratically ban a political party because we don't agree with it" the irony

[andrejhallder]

Stop being afraid of your past germans, where is your sense of nationality?

THIS IS THE SAME WOMEN THAT THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT VIOLATIONS AND MACHISMO

[Southerner]

Germany has already lost sense of pride and identity what else could this beautiful nation lose but it's on people that's what's next

Ask the Swedes what they think about such protests... 10 more years of uncontrolled immigration and you can ask yourself that question.

Who defines what "far right" is? Why is the wish to preserve the culture of your country "far right"? So does this mean that if you do not wish to destroy the homogeneity that fostered the success of your country, you are unreasonably extreme? We hear the right say in America that "All the left wants is to destroy, and history demonstrates their success at this." I have kept an open mind, researching, and observing both sides, and the right is correct about this.

It appears that the left chooses emotion, while the right chooses reason. It is not rational to bring into a harmonious society those whose differences in mindset and culture will sow division. Why would a rational person see the need to alter what has worked for centuries? As the common sense saying goes, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it."

What surprises me the most is that the left is still blinded by their emotions, not seeing the recent harm such diverse immigration has caused, not only for their own country, but countries throughout Europe. The facts are undisputed, but without reason, facts have no purpose.

The left sees immigration equivalent to saving a stray kitten. They will never see the harm in such an emotional rewarding behavior, regardless of reason. This isn't about empathy, with one side being more empathic than the other; it's about blindness. Those who oppose this immigration have empathy as well, but they see the harm to their many citizens, including future generations, and this is where their empathy lies.

Why are they far right? How about ordinary Germans? Oh wait, this is the Guardian.

“Far right” means maintaining a tradition, culture and way of life that Germany was built upon.

It’s always the old people that have very little time left on this earth that are ok with things burning down

[marcuskingstanley]

i remember when i was a "liberal" then the looney left started to veer hard left and "pushed" me into the far right

[empireofthechangedayandnight]

AFD and alikes is a german people and culture hope not to be replaced in 100 years. Fight for Europe! Fight for the European Future!

[carpenterpilot]

This is what Americans should do protest against border crossing. We are so divide well I guess this makes America free but I don't know if we will be free anymore.

[exit-bag]

Germany is for Germans and they have every right to it

[gurisa]

We Europeans must participate and vote in the European Parliament elections in June 2024, and we must think very carefully about what we vote for. Do-goodism has brought Europe to its knees and is destroying our culture!

At the beginning of the vid, it’s amazing how such a young man has that kind of conviction.
Young men in america however…💀

Can't wait for all the surprised pikachu faces when everything kicks off in a decade or so.

The panic will really set in once the new guests start their own political parties...
