100,000 Protest Against Alternative for Germany
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
MUNICH, GERMANY (Worthy News) – Around 100,000 people gathered in the German city of Munich Saturday to protest against the Alternative für Deutschland or Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and any collaboration with the far-right party, according to police estimates.
Protesters describe Germany’s second-largest party in the polls as “an extreme-right or fascist movement.”
Elon Musk, CEO of electric car maker Tesla and a member of U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s administration, recently urged Germans to vote for the anti-immigration party.
Several AfD members have been linked to neo-Nazism or arrested for “anti-government conspiracies” and illegal weapons possession.l
Security agencies have warned that the party poses “a threat to the state.”
Several AfD leaders have distanced themselves from these sentiments but say they want to focus on limiting migration from mainly Muslim countries from where millions arrived in recent years.
Last weekend, 160,000 people protested against the AfD in Berlin, the capital.
Germany will hold early elections in two weeks, with nearly 60 million people eligible to vote. Polls indicate that over 20 percent of voters support the AfD, suggesting it may become part of the government.
As the protest was underway, anti-Islam Dutch politician Geert Wilders was seen on Saturday at a gathering of the Spanish right-wing party VOX.
He stood alongside other European leaders, including Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and France’s Marine Le Pen. The event’s slogan was “Make Europe Great Again.”
