Dresden (dpa / sn) - The alliance "Dresden Nazifrei" is planning protests against right-wing extremism on February 13 this year - under Corona conditions.
Under the motto "Dresden blocked - no room for Nazis", the citizens were called to resistance, "show solidarity with mask and distance," said a spokeswoman on Wednesday.
Specifically, given the current uncertainties, it will most likely only shortly before the commemoration day of the destruction of the city at the end of the Second World War.
Despite the exceptional situation, it is about the signal "that Dresden rejects inhuman and derogatory ideologies then and now," said Zoe Olschewski (Jusos).
The left is also planning a rally in the city center.
"We want to show the flag: there is no place in Dresden for old and new Nazis."
The Greens want to prevent historical revisionism by the Nazis with a rally at the rubble woman monument and a vigil at an obelisk.
"It will be different in 2021, but not less loud," said Brid Johnson.
The Dresdeners were not primarily victims in the war, but perpetrators, that should not be denied.

According to Nazifrei, Maik Müller, one of the leading figures in the right-wing extremist scene in Dresden, has registered a rally with a demonstration.
The AfD is in the old market in the evening.
The background of two other registered actions is still unclear, said the alliance's spokeswoman.
She assumes that the rights under the Corona regulation are also prohibited from walking through the city.
"We want Dresden to send out a positive message on this day."
Dresden was badly damaged by British and American bombs on February 13, 1945 and in the days after;
up to 25,000 people died.
Corona makes the usual remembering on the anniversary with demonstrations, vigils and gatherings like the human chain impossible.
In the past, neo-Nazis tried again and again to abuse the Memorial Day and to relativize the crimes of the National Socialists.
Since 2012, peaceful remembrance has predominated.
