On Monday (15 January), around 1,000 people spontaneously gathered in Tübingen for a rally against the right. Mayor Boris Palmer was not entirely convinced on Facebook.
Tübingen - Germany's political landscape is once again in turmoil after the research network Correctiv uncovered a "secret meeting" between right-wing extremists and high-ranking AfD politicians. The leader of the Greens, Ricarda Lang, warned urgently against the party's ideology, and in many parts of Germany there are again discussions about banning the AfD. In Tübingen, around 15,1 people gathered on Monday, January 000, to stand up for democracy, but Mayor Boris Palmer was left somewhat perplexed. At BW24 you can read how Boris Palmer positions himself in relation to the deportation plans of the AfD and what he criticizes about the meeting in Tübingen.
After the discovery of the "secret meeting", there were large demonstrations in Dresden, Berlin and Potsdam last weekend. Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) were also present in Potsdam.
