One day before the European elections, thousands of people took to the streets in Berlin to make a stand against the far-right. According to the police, there was a large turnout at the demonstration on Saturday.
According to police, several thousand people demonstrated against right-wing extremism in Berlin one day before the European elections. According to a police spokesman, the demonstration has been peaceful so far. There has been a “strong influx” of people. The signs at the demonstration included slogans such as “Heart instead of hate,” “Human rights instead of right-wing people,” and “Diversity without alternative.” 10,000 participants were registered.
Under the motto “Stop right-wing extremism. Defend democracy”, a broad alliance of civil society organizations has called for demonstrations in several German cities, including Hamburg, Munich, Cologne and Dresden.
The alliance has announced Matthias Ecke as a speaker for the demonstration in Berlin. The SPD’s top candidate for the European elections in Saxony was beaten up in Dresden at the beginning of May while hanging election posters.
