Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Berlin to participate in the demonstration against Friedrich Merz's CDU and the far-right AfD , who voted together for the proposal to crack down on immigration. According to a police spokeswoman, 160,000 people are protesting in the streets of the capital, 250,000 according to the organizers. The police were expecting a march of about 20,000 people.
The "Wall" Against Pro-Nazis The demonstration called against the crackdown on migrants, rejected by the Bundestag, was named "Brandmaurer Demo", from the word "Brandmauer", which means "retaining wall, firewall" and which indicates the German policy that after Nazism excluded from the constitutional arch all movements that directly or indirectly are believed to hark back to that past, including the AfD.
Scholz: "Never with the extreme right, I share the Germans' message"
"Never with the extreme right. We stand against it," wrote German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, on his X account as an SPD MP. The Chancellor posted a photo of the crowds who attended the demonstration in Berlin. "I share this message of hundreds of thousands of citizens across the country. And this also applies to me," he added.
