More than 100,000 people turned out across Germany on Saturday in protest against the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, which sparked an outcry after it emerged that the party’s members discussed mass deportation plans at a meeting of extremists.

In Frankfurt, about 35,000 people joined a call under the banner “Defend democracy – Frankfurt against the AfD”, marching in the financial heart of Germany. A similar number, some carrying posters like “Nazis out”, turned up in the northern city of Hanover.

Protests were also held in cities including Braunschweig, Erfurt and Kassel and many smaller towns, mirroring mobilisation every day over the past week. In all, demonstrations have been called in about 100 locations across Germany from Friday through the weekend, including in Berlin on Sunday.

Politicians, churches and Bundesliga coaches have all urged people to stand up against the AfD.

      AfD supporters: “just because they defend nazis, and talk like nazis, and use slogans from nazis, that doesn’t mean they are nazis. LOL”

          Deporting german citizens because they don’t align with your right-wing extremism is very nazi. Sorry to break it to you. It’s even sadder that you ancestors fought exactly against the kind of people whose side you’re taking right now. My ancestors were also persecuted by the nazis.
