Tens of thousands gathered in Hamburg on Friday for a demonstration against the far right, and organizers said the protest was ended early because the mass of people led to safety concerns.

The demonstration in our city today was surprisingly big. People estimated that maybe 1-3k people would show up tops, but we ended up being around 15k according to sources which is awesome considering our smallish population of around 80k people.
I remember when the AFD was being laughed off as a joke back when they first joined as a political party. Surely, they would never be voted into the Bundestag, never reaching the required 5% of votes, I thought. Here we are a couple of years later with them being the second-highest voted for party in the entire country. smh my head
I hope they’ll actually be deemed to be unconstitutional and kicked from parliament because of their clearly fascist views after all of these protests and all of the shit dug up on them.
