Around 80 people demonstrated against racism and for peace in Sebnitz, south of Dresden, on Easter Monday because of an inhumane job advertisement by a tradesman in the town's official gazette. There were also two spontaneously registered counter-protests from the more right-wing spectrum on the market square with around 130 participants, according to the police. "There were no disruptions", said a spokesperson.
The Left Party had called for the rally after the incident became known, "against contempt for humanity, incitement to hatred, for peace and solidarity with people", said district chairwoman Lisa Thea Steiner. The publication of the advertisement in the official gazette, without verification, was "staggering".
