March

    

Thousands of supporters of Germany’s rising far-right party, the AfD, are marching in Berlin on Sunday. The demonstration is being met with counter-protests by several groups including some from the city’s renowned club scene.

Up to 10,000 people are expected to take part in the march entitled ‘Future for Germany,’ according to its organizers, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The event sees protesters walk from Berlin’s main train station to the Brandenburg Gate.

The right-wing populist party, known for its anti-migrant and anti-Muslim stance, became the largest opposition party to Angela Merkel’s coalition government after last year’s federal elections.

A counter-demonstration called ‘Stop the Hatred’ has been organized in the city’s government district. The counter-protest will involve the techno and dance scenes, with several DJs expected to travel through the city playing loud music to encourage a street party of sorts. There will also be a protest on boats on the Spree River.

Organizers predict attendance at the counter-demonstrations to exceed 10,000. Dozens of groups, politicians and nightclubs have joined forces to face off with AfD protestors. Organizers say they intend to block the AfD’s route.

Party

    

“We want to attract so many demonstrators that the AfD won’t be able to take a single step,” spokesperson Nora Berneis told Deutsche Welle, adding that they were willing to engage in “civil disobedience” to achieve their goal.

The police are preparing for a major operation with more than 2,000 officers scheduled to be on duty.
