kathimerini.gr (Greek)

Thousands of people gathered at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate on Monday evening to protest the far-right AfD party, one day after its electoral victory in Saxony-Anhalt. Demonstrators demanded action to "stop the AfD." Police estimated 5,000 participants, while organizer Campact claimed 14,000. Protesters expressed fears for democracy's future, with some saying friends have already decided to leave Germany due to safety concerns. The protest follows the AfD's success in Sunday's state election. Similar large demonstrations occurred in early 2025 before federal elections, when at least 100,000 people protested against potential conservative-far-right cooperation.
