TL;DR Summary
Hundreds of thousands of people protested in German cities against far-right extremism and the growing popularity of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, coinciding with the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned of the dangers of the far right, comparing their plans to Hitler's Reich, while Kiel's Mayor Ulf Kämpfer emphasized the need to safeguard democracy. The protests were sparked by a report revealing AfD members meeting with extremists to discuss expelling immigrants and minorities, shocking many as the party gains support ahead of major regional elections.
