On Sunday, thousands marched across Germany against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, recently classified as an extremist group by the intelligence service. This protest followed a call from the 'Together against the Right' group, aiming to raise awareness about the party's influence and the potential need for a ban. In Berlin alone, an estimated 3,000 to 7,000 gathered at the Brandenburg Gate. Meanwhile, Labour Minister Bärbel Bas advocates for reforms requiring self-employed people to contribute to the pension system as part of broader social security changes.
On Sunday anti-AfD demonstrators marched in 60 localities across Germany, following a call by the 'Together against the Right' group. In Berlin 3,000 protesters gathered in front of the famed Brandenburg gate, according to the police. Organisers put the turnout at 7,000. 'Together against fascism,' they chanted. 'AfD is not a normal party and should not be treated as such,' the organiser group said on its website.
The domestically classified 'extremist' status of the Alternative for Germany party has sparked increased public dissent, culminating in protests across Germany. Participants called for urgent actions to ban the AfD.
