Hundreds of thousands of people took the streets across Germany this weekend as the nation enters a second week of protests against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Around 100,000 gathered outside the Bundestag in Berlin alone, said the police, with up to 200,000 counted by the organizers in Bavaria’s Munich. Significant turnout was also reported in the cities that represent traditional the AfD voting strongholds in eastern Germany, like Leipzig and Dresden.

    Huh, had no idea that’s where the name originated.

    We have a Altona and Heidelberg in Melbourne, Australia. Guess I can add Brunswick to the list too

    💪 Bitte sag “fick dich” zur AfD für uns. Stay safe friend.
