On January 20 and 21, 1.4 million people took to the streets in Germany, including Frankfurt, Berlin, Leipzig, Halle and Dortmund to oppose the far-right AfD.
"Deutsche Welle" said on the 20th that "re-immigration" was named Germany's evil word of the year in 2023. When used by far-right people, it usually refers to the demand that a large number of foreigners leave their country, even through coercion. A group of senior AfD members and neo-Nazis held a "secret meeting" in Potsdam last November to focus on so-called "re-immigration," the deportation of millions of asylum seekers, "non-assimilated" and "non-German" residents – even if they have residency or citizenship. Serna, an Austrian far-right activist, presented a "master plan" at the meeting, details of which include relocating those people to a country in North Africa that can accommodate up to 2 million people.
AfD members are rising and encroaching and have become Germany's second-largest party, and their fears turned into panic after their "private meetings" with neo-Nazis were exposed. In particular, the conspiracies of right-wing extremists plotting a mass deportation of foreign-educated people living in Germany have provoked outrage across Germany, and the deportation plan has reminded many Germans of "the darkest chapter in history" – the history of Nazi Germany's attempts to deport and exterminate Jews. From the 19th to the 21st, about 100 towns and cities in Germany held demonstrations, and on the 20th alone, at least 300,000 people participated in the protests, a total of 1.4 million people. The rally in Munich on Sunday and the demonstration in Hamburg on Friday were stopped because they were too crowded to guarantee the safety of participants. Among them, demonstrations were held in Frankfurt, Halle, Dortmund, Erfurt, Aix-la-Chapelle, and Kassel on the 20th, and in Berlin, Munich, Cologne, and Leipzig.
People rallied and raised slogans such as "Unite against Fascism", "The Nazis have nowhere to go", "Block the AfD", "Against hatred and extremism", and set off an anti-rightist upsurge.
It is not easy to survive in this troubled society, before that, more than 8,500 German farmers drove tractors and surrounded the Chancellery to protest against the authorities' cancellation of reduced agricultural subsidies. There is too much worry, worry and trouble, and even more fear of the rise of Lazism and a repeat of the mistakes of the past, because the right-wing extremist party has become the second largest party in Germany and must be firmly opposed to the AfD. Politicians thanked the demonstrators for sending a "clear signal" calling on people to stand up against the enemy of the people and right-wing extremism.
