Demonstrations against right-wing extremism: A nationwide call for protest!
In September 2025, numerous cities across Germany will show their flag against right-wing extremism and misanthropy. News.de reports that this Tuesday there will be numerous demonstrations against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the associated extreme attitudes. These events are a clear signal for more tolerance and a strong commitment to democracy.
From workshops to readings to discussion groups, the planned events are extremely diverse. Certain dates are updated regularly, and online events are also planned to draw attention to the increasing hate speech on the Internet. These offers aim to raise awareness of the dangers of right-wing extremism and create solidarity in society.
Various demonstrations in the federal states
The mobilization against right-wing extremism extends across the entire country, as the following examples show:
- Baden-Württemberg: Am 04.09.2025 fand ein Bündnistreffen in Freiburg statt.
- Bayern: In München traf man sich am 01.09.2025 unter dem Motto „Demokratisches Perlach“.
- Berlin: Hier gab es am 06.09.2025 die Aktion „AfD wegblasen – Der große Soundcheck“.
- Nordrhein-Westfalen: Ein wichtiger Termin fand am 01.09.2025 in Bielefeld gegen die Teilnahme der AfD statt.
- Rheinland-Pfalz: Betzdorf war am 02.09.2025 Schauplatz einer Mahnwache der Omas Gegen Rechts.
Similar events are planned in many other federal states and will last until the end of September 2025.
The right-wing extremist influence in society
The influence of right-wing extremism should not be underestimated and represents a constant threat to democracy. bpb.de highlights that right-wing extremist groups often have well-organized structures and continually adapt their ideologies to social developments.
The AfD is seen by many as a central platform for extreme right-wing positions and has made a decisive contribution to the normalization of such views. The entry of the AfD into the Bundestag has given a boost to right-wing extremist ideologies among the general public, making an active civil society necessary to counteract this.
Social responsibility and commitment
Events like the democracy festival “Jamel rocks the forester” in 2023 show that there are numerous citizens who are actively fighting right-wing extremism. More than twice as many visitors took part as last year, and artists like Danger Dan support the call against intolerance. Deutschlandfunk reports on meeting places, such as the Mewa-Bad in Ostritz, where diversity is celebrated and people from 15 nations come together.
Initiatives such as the “School for More Democracy” alliance show that the fight against extremist tendencies is also being waged in educational institutions. The courage of students who speak out against right-wing extremism is increasingly being recognized.
Germany is at a turning point as a society. Through civic engagement, civil society mobilization and the promotion of democracy work, we can stand up to right-wing extremism and create an open, tolerant society.
