At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against #FarRight #AfD ahead of German election

February 8, 2025

MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.

"The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.

"The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'

"The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

"Similar #protests attracted large crowds on Saturday in #HanoverGermany, #RostockGermany, and elsewhere in Germany, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks."

At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against far-right AfD ahead of German election

More than 200,000 protesters have demonstrated in Munich against far-right extremism ahead of the German general election. The far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on Feb. 23. Saturday’s protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese brought a significantly larger crowd than expected. The police estimated the crowd at 200,000 people, according to reports, but the event’s organizer estimated it could be up to 320,000. Other protests attracted thousands in Hanover, Rostock, and elsewhere, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks. The 12-year-old AfD first entered the national parliament in 2017.
