"Mass Protests Sweep Germany Against Far-Right Movement"
Saalfeld in eastern Germany has been a stronghold for the far-right, with neo-Nazis and the AfD party enjoying considerable support. However, a report on a clandestine meeting of neo-Nazis and AfD members discussing plans for the expulsion of migrants and German nationals from immigrant families has sparked nationwide protests. More than 1,000 people rallied against the far-right in Saalfeld, with residents showing courage to stand up against right-wing extremism despite threats and racist attacks. Even young conservatives have joined the call to combat the rise of right-wing extremism, with various groups coming together to fight for democratic values in the region.
