Tens of thousands of people are expected in Hamburg on Sunday for the third major demonstration against right-wing extremism in just a few weeks.
A broad alliance of around 40 associations and organizations has called for the rally under the motto “We are the firewall – together against right-wing extremism”.
The elevator starts at 1 p.m. at the Dammtor and then moves through the city center along the Binnenalster.
The organizers expect around 30,000 people.
The Hamburg band Deichkind wants to support the demo with a performance.
Several speeches are also planned, including one by transformation researcher Maja Göpel.
The event is the third major demonstration against right-wing extremism in the Hanseatic city since January.
The trigger for the latest nationwide protests were revelations by the media company “Correctiv” about a meeting of radical right-wingers in Potsdam, in which AfD politicians and individual members of the CDU and the Values Union also took part.
