With legislative elections two weeks away, massive demonstrations took place across Germany under the slogan 'democracy needs you,' warning against any party working together with the far-right AfD.

Summary

Over 200,000 people marched in Munich against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, with organizers claiming 320,000 participants.

The protests, held under the slogan “democracy needs you,” warned against any party collaborating with the AfD, particularly the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), ahead of legislative elections.

    Aren’t the AfD only doing well in parts of East Germany, which had previously been under decades of Soviet rule?

    This would be a more substantial counter-protest if it occurred in Leipzig or Dresden.
