More than 100,000 individuals gathered in Frankfurt, Germany, to protest against the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) Party. The party has faced severe criticism following revelations that some of its members participated in meetings with neo-Nazis and other extremists.
These gatherings reportedly involved discussions on the mass deportation of migrants, asylum seekers, and German citizens of foreign origin who were perceived to have failed to integrate. The controversial nature of these discussions has sparked widespread public outcry, leading to a massive turnout in Frankfurt to express collective disapproval of the AfD’s association with such ideologies and policy proposals.
Protest against Right-Wing extremism. 
On Sunday, demonstrators outside the German parliament in Berlin carried signs that said, “no place for Nazis” and “Nazis out”.
Protestors were held out in more than 100 location including Berlin. the protest began on Friday and throughout the weekend. On Sunday, people in major cities like Berlin, Munich, and Cologne, as well as in places where the AfD is popular like Leipzig and Dresden, held protests against the AfD party. The protesters are worried that ideas linked to Nazis and fascists might gain power again. They want to make sure that these extreme ideologies don’t come back and threaten their democratic values and social harmony.
Recent polls say the AfD is the second-biggest party nationally, after the main centre-right opposition and ahead of the government parties.
However, more people have been protesting against the AfD, especially since a report on January 10 revealed that right-wing extremists in Potsdam discussed controversial migration policies, like mass deportations of people from other countries. This information has stirred more public concern and led to increased demonstrations against the AfD
