The protests against right-wing extremism have mobilized many who would otherwise not take to the streets - especially not together.
Will it stay that way?
While new demos are still being registered nationwide, there are initial frictions.
Some participants find the speeches too left-wing.
Others want to direct their protest not only against the nationalist fantasies in the AfD, but also against the traffic light's migration policy.
Still others feel excluded when it goes “against the right” and this also seems to mean the Union.
What stands between the current wave of protests and a real movement?
How can alliances be forged despite political differences?
And what can I do if I want to continue getting involved after the demo?
In this episode we speak to Leipzig protest researcher Piotr Kocyba, who emphasizes the importance of a “common language” and draws attention to differences between East and West.
Campaign professional Christoph Bautz explains what he is doing with Campact against the AfD and what the relationship with the CDU looks like.
And the Protestant pastor Elisabeth Schulze reports from Spremberg how she wants to overcome the deep divides in Brandenburg's AfD stronghold.
