People across Germany have been taking to the streets against right-wing extremism for days.
You can see the best poster sayings here.
Since a secret meeting became known, tens of thousands of people in Germany have been demonstrating against right-wing extremism and the AfD.
Last week, the media company Correctiv reported on the previously unknown meeting between right-wing extremists and politicians from the AfD and CDU in a Potsdam villa on November 25th.
The former head of the right-wing extremist Identitarian Movement in Austria, Martin Sellner, said he spoke there about “remigration” (bad word of the year 2023).
When right-wing extremists use the term, they usually mean that large numbers of people of foreign origin should leave the country - even under duress.
Thousands of people take to the streets to show their stance against the right.
Some authors of the signs get quite creative.
