"Massive Anti-Far-Right Protests Sweep Germany, Overwhelming Safety Measures"

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in cities across Germany to protest against the far-right Alternative for Germany party and right-wing extremism, following reports of a meeting discussing the deportation of immigrants. The protests drew attention to the growing popular opposition to the AfD, which has seen a rise in opinion polls. The demonstrations, which took place in major cities and smaller towns, were sparked by a report on an alleged far-right meeting attended by figures from the extremist Identitarian Movement and the AfD. Prominent German politicians and elected officials voiced support for the protests, emphasizing the defense of democracy and the constitution against its enemies.
