  1. They protested over an AfD-backed migration law as far as I’m concerned. It was a collaboration with CDU to discuss the deportation of millions of immigrants, including some with German citizenship. Most demonstrations were aimed at chancellor candidate Merz, who presented two anti-immigration bills in the [Bundestag](https://www.dw.com/en/bundestag-germanys-lower-house-of-parliament/t-19153330) this week, both of which gained support from the business-focused [Free Democrats (FDP),](https://www.dw.com/en/fdp-free-democratic-party/t-17365530) the left-wing populist [Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) party](https://www.dw.com/en/sahra-wagenknecht-alliance-bsw/t-68472751) — and most notably, from the far-right AfD.

  2. All over Germany there have been protests against right wing, populistic politics, mainly the AfD. This is in anticipation for the upcoming federal elections in 20 days.

    The sign says “The only dangerous minority is the political right”

    Edit: I misread, it actually reads “the only dangerous minority are the rich”

  3. I think this is a protest about something related to the AFD.

  4. The best protest is not vote for them, if even that is not enough and they won, assimilate that you guys have a real problem on you society and the phrases: “oh we weren’t nazi when we worked for them, we didn’t agree on what they did” or the card “we didn’t knew it about the concentration camps”, when did you hear that and you put again the same ideology int o the government is because you never left that complex of superiority and majority of population nor only always knew but also agreed on the final solution!

  5. You mean it’s possible to protest against creeping fascism ? Perhaps some other nations can learn from this

  6. As long as there is no actual plan from the center-left parties regarding migration, AfD will continue to rise.

    I’m happy about how many people here demonstrated against fascism, but the vote on friday wasn’t a win. It was yet another reminder that SPD/Grüne have *absolutely nothing* to offer for a topic that **over 80 percent of germans** say is one of the most pressing issue right now.

    Its honestly frightening to see some politicians cheer for themselves while their inaction is the main reason fascist are getting more and more votes.

    Its easy to say “nazis are bad”, its hard to have the complicated discussions we needed to have 10 years ago.

  7. This is just bullock. Mertz is only doing as so many other EU conservatives has done in the past It’s like Sweden for instance. They dont support the fringe but want to win. It will ofcource erode their own voter base with time as right wing voters will more likely see AfD as more normal if their own favorite parties normalices them.

    It’s however a shit storm approaching Germany. Even if they will manage to keep AfD out off the most important fields of politics, due so many Germans really hating right wing fringe. Very sad for Germany and the nation cohesion and socal trust they have felt. Thats a new and not very good reality for Germany. Problably the government wont survive long even so.

  8. “The Women’s March on Washington was a January 21, 2017, protest in Washington, D.C., which attracted about 597,000 people to Independence Ave & Third St. to protest Donald Trump’s first full day in office. Simultaneous protests drew large crowds across all 50 US states, and on six continents.[145][146][147] There was an estimated 3.3 to 4.6 million people involved in the march across the country, making it the largest protest in United States history.[16][148]” [First presidency – Women’s March](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_Donald_Trump#First_presidency)

    And he’s in The White House again.

  9. The history books on the shelf are always repeating themselves

  10. What is this protest about? I heard about unrest in Germany. Sorry folks I was away from civilization for a bit.

  11. It’s pathetic what the Left, SPD, Greens, Linke are trying here. The CDU let the parliament vote on a proposal for stricter Migration and Asylum policies. It was rejected. Then, extreme right AfD took the CDU proposal and let the parliament vote again on it. Now the CDU would had to vote against their own proposal, which they obviously couldn’t, so they ended up voting for it with the AfD so that it looked like the CDU cooperated with the AfD. That’s the story the Left is telling. But actually, there wasn’t any firewall broken down. They didn’t cooperate. It just was a political trap of the AfD, which the Left parties is now cheering about.

  12. Damn all of Europe is protesting. Georgia, Serbia, Germany, England, the French not long ago.

  13. That’s how you do it, America. No burning buildings, no stores being looted.

  14. Can somebody please explain why there’s so much backlash against this bill? From how I understand it, it aims to get immigrants with criminal records out of Germany, and I’m not sure why that’s such a bad thing? I’m not an AfD supporter by any means, quite the opposite, but is it not time we do something about this issue in Germany? Shouldn’t the greens and SPD have backed this bill, is that not on them for not doing so? I’m not against immigration but if you come to Germany and don’t bother to find work but rather commit a violent crime you shouldn’t be allowed to stay, and it seems the greens/SPD take the stance that everyone still deserves a 3rd or 40th chance so they should remain, clearly that’s not what an overwhelming number of ppl want. But again please can somebody explain the stance that these protestors have, I’m genuinely curious if I’m missing something. Again I’m anti-AfD but I do as of now believe Merz was right to introduce this

  15. Every country I go to in Europe for holiday or work it all looks the same. Huge number of middle eastern, Pakistani or Indian people. I can be in Belgium UK or Netherlands and it always feels like I’m in Turkey.

  16. My only warning is do not allow Elon to interere any more. As an American.

  17. Of the us is going to fall to fascism, at least Europe will prevail.

  18. Hey I am from india can you please tell me why this protest is taking place?? Is it due to illegal immigrants??

  19. When liberalism goes too far, the right retaliate. Same in America. Right wing populism will continue to grow until liberals swing less far left.

  20. Did they count them all or just pick a number out of their arse and say “seems like a nice number to claim”.

  21. This is not on the news in the Netherlands… 🤔

  22. Americans, “only 80 people? that’s not very big”
