Germany: Over a Million Leftists Protest Amid Push to Ban Surging Populist AfD Party

More than a million leftist activists took to the streets of Germany in protest over the weekend amid growing calls to ban the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as it surges in the polls.

In a welcome distraction for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government — which has become deeply unpopular over economic stagnation, mass migration and most recently a farmer uprising against its globalist agenda — the legacy media, political elites and activist networks have rallied around a common target, the AfD.

According to organisers, over 1.4 million people took to the streets in protest against the populist Alternative for Germany party over the weekend, under the banner of slogans such as: “Against Fascism, Populism and the Right” and “Demo against the right – not an inch from fascism”, broadcaster NTV reports.

The protests were urged on by Chancellor Scholz in an apparent attempt to change the narrative from his struggling coalition government.

“Right-wing extremists are attacking our democracy. We are all called upon to take a clear stand: for our democratic Germany. And for our more than 20 million friends, work colleagues and neighbours who have a migration background,” Sholz said in a video released on Friday.

“If there is one thing that must never again have any place in Germany, it’s the ethno-racial ideology of the National Socialists,” Scholz continued. “That’s exactly what the repulsive resettlement plans of these extremists are. The very thought sends a shiver down the spine.”

“attacking our democracy.”

There’s that phrase again, and it always the leftist a-holes.

I wonder how big a crowd the AfD and those generally aligned against the left could put in the street.

“Right-wing extremists are attacking our democracy."

How are they attacking "democracy"? By opposing bringing in more Islamic rapists?

Same thing the left is doing here and Brazil.

All the work of the globalists, of course.

My last few weeks living in Germany, Chairzir Merkel declared a vote she didn’t like was invalid and forced the state to vote again for someone she liked. That evil see you next tuesday did what no one else was able to do. permanently destroy Germany from the inside with her hordes of violent muslims.

“If there is one thing that must never again have any place in Germany, it’s the ethno-racial ideology of the National Socialists,” Scholz continued.

...We don't want the socialists around, so we hate the right-wing people? Do these people listen to themselves?

President Retard wants to outlaw the MAGA party

President Retard's puppet masters want to outlaw the MAGA party. At this point in time, I'm guessing the only thing Retard has on his mind is ice cream and little girls.
