Mass demonstrations against the right: Germany's voice for tolerance and democracy!
Today, July 14, 2025, thousands of people are gathering in Germany to send a strong message against right-wing extremism, hatred and anti-Semitism. Numerous demonstrations and events are planned in various cities and federal states that represent a clear commitment to democracy and tolerance. These protests are part of an intensive movement that has mobilized millions of people since the beginning of 2023 to demonstrate against the AfD and its possible collaborations with right-wing forces. How news.de reports, the planned events also include workshops, readings and discussion groups that aim to promote social debate and take action together.
The number of participants in the demos is impressive. Since the major protest against the AfD party conference in Riesa in January 2025, more than 1.7 million people have taken part in protests against right-wing extremism. The largest protest took place on February 8, 2025 in Munich, where, according to police, at least 250,000 people demonstrated. The organizers even spoke of 320,000 participants rnd.de reported.
Demonstrations at a glance
Today there are exciting events on the program in several cities across the federal states. Here is an overview of the most important demonstration dates:
| Federal State | Location | event |
|---|---|---|
| Baden-Württemberg | Tübingen | Open Antifa meeting |
| Saxony | Görlitz | Together for democracy! |
| North Rhine-Westphalia | Detmold | Enough walking! |
These and many other events show that commitment to combating right-wing extremism is very important. Especially in North Rhine-Westphalia, where numerous demonstrations will take place in the coming days, it is clear that civil society is standing together.
Political climate and social reactions
The rise in protests is also influenced by political developments. Critical reports about connections between right-wing extremist groups and the AfD have contributed to mobilization. A report about a meeting of radical right-wingers in Potsdam, which was also attended by AfD politicians, was a decisive trigger for the wave of protests in 2024, in which over four million people stood up for democracy. Members of the Bundestag are now returning after the summer break on September 8th, while the protests continue to bring many people onto the streets. This represents a strong signal that citizens are ready to fight against intellectual and moral distortions, such as tagesschau.de summarizes.
Overall, these demonstrations show that German civil society is determined to take a stand against right-wing extremism and hate speech. People are committed to an open and tolerant society in which the values of democracy are preserved. It remains to be seen how the protests will develop and what influence they will have on the political landscape.
