It was a weekend of demonstrations across Germany: an estimated 1.4 million people went to the streets in about 100 different locations to protest against far-right extremism and in particular against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Claim: "The protest in Hamburg was so overcrowded according to (German public broadcaster) ZDF, people even had to stand in the Alster," said far-right politician Bjorn Hocke on social media platform X, referring to the body of water that runs through the famous northern German city. The tweet(archived here) has over 400,000 views. DW fact check: False
Disinformation spread online, with far-right politicians questioning the number of protesters and spreading false information.
