Thousands gather to demonstrate against right-wing extremism, in Leipzig, Germany, January 21, 2024
POLITICIANS and former ministers have thrown their weight behind the huge wave of protests against the far right erupting in Germany over the weekend, with a number of leading figures calling for the demonstrations to continue.
Following Saturday’s huge demonstrations, further protests on Sunday saw hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets of Germany’s cities, with campaigners condemning a neonazi meeting that discussed the idea of deporting immigrants en masse.
