Parliament sees demonstrations against the right as a strong signal. Hundreds of thousands are taking to the streets to demonstrate for democracy and human rights.

The commitment is welcomed by the Hamburg citizens - but not by everyone. The AfD's violent reaction to the large demonstrations shows that the party becomes "incredibly nervous" when they see the masses on the streets, says the leader of the left-wing faction, Cansu Özdemir. The xenophobia fueled by the AfD is scaring people away, says Green Party leader Jennifer Jasberg.
