Nationwide protests have erupted across Germany, with over 100,000 participants, including 80,000 in Hamburg and around 35,000 in Frankfurt, in response to a report revealing that senior members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party attended a meeting discussing the mass deportation of citizens of foreign origin. The protests, calling for the ban of the AfD, have seen tens of thousands of participants in major cities and are marked by slogans like 'Never Again is Now,' 'Against Hate,' and 'Defend Democracy.' German CEOs from companies such as Infineon and Evonik have expressed concerns over the threat of far-right extremism to the economy. The AfD, which is polling in second place, has faced backlash for its 're-migration' policy and the recent meeting that echoed Nazi-era policies. The scale of the demonstrations suggests a significant public outcry against right-wing extremism.
Police estimate 50,000 people protested against right-wing extremists in Hamburg, Germany after a report of a plot to deport millions of immigrants. The right-wing AfD party, in second place nationally, has denied ties to the extremists, according to NPR. https://t.co/I3pmSD0agB
