Original title: Tens of thousands pack into a protest in Hamburg against Germany’s far right

Edit: The protest was ended early because the location was too small for that many people, raising concerns that e.g. paramedics couldn’t quickly reach people in the centre of the crowd in case of a medical emergency.
Originally, the protest was supposed to take place in front of the town hall and not at the Jungfernstieg Boulevard, but the far right Alternative for Germany party had called on short notice for a meeting of the state legislature in the town hall. During such a meeting, protests are banned within the vicinity of it for security reasons.

    And the problem is that they vastly over evaluate their numbers, ex: the idiots that occupied Parliament Hill in Canada that say they were 2 millions when that’s the population of the whole region and when looking at drone footage of the busiest days they were max 5 to 10k.

      5 to 10 k is still too much for my comfort.
