At least 150,000 people gathered in front of the German national parliament on Saturday to protest against the far right, marking the latest in a series of large weekend demonstrations across the country. The pro-democracy protests, sparked by an article published by the investigative journalists' group Correctiv, revealed that right-wing extremists had recently held a meeting discussing the deportation of millions of immigrants, including some with German citizenship. Members of the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) were present at the meeting, fueling concerns among the population.
Despite intermittent rain showers in the German capital, Saturday's protest drew more participants than organizers had initially expected. By mid-afternoon, approximately 150,000 people showed up to make their voices heard. Similar protests against the far right also took place in other German cities, including Freiburg and Hannover, attracting thousands of attendees.
