Thousands took to the streets across Germany to protest Friedrich Merz's migration proposals, which received backing from the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). Demonstrators in cities like Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich condemned the CDU leader for allegedly violating the post-Nazi consensus among democratic parties against engaging with nationalist groups. With significant turnouts—police estimating 160,000 in Berlin alone—protesters highlighted messages of democracy and diversity, pushing back against what they perceive as a dangerous shift in political rhetoric. The protests underscore broader concerns about mainstreaming far-right ideologies in German politics as elections approach.
Protests erupted nationwide against Friedrich Merz's migration proposals supported by the far-right AfD, viewed as a betrayal of Germany's democratic values.
Activists claim that Friedrich Merz's approach undermines the post-Nazi consensus against far-right collaboration, igniting massive protests in multiple German cities.
