It's about a firewall against the right: several thousand people gathered in Dresden on Sunday for another major rally for democracy and against right-wing extremist activities. As the organizers, the alliance "Wir sind die Brandmauer" (We are the firewall), announced on Sunday afternoon, thousands gathered on Dresden's Neumarkt square. A spokesperson for the action alliance spoke of around 20,000 people. The police did not initially state the number of participants. Speakers included climate activist Luisa Neubauer from Fridays for Future Germany.
Neubauer called on people to stand up against indifference. The message: "You don't have democracy. You live democracy." That is why it is important that as many people as possible take a stand against right-wing extremists. "What is happening right now is scaring the fascists," said Neubauer.
According to the organizer, Marcus Fuchs, the organizer of the Dresden Querdenken demonstrations, attempted to disrupt the demonstration with around ten supporters at the beginning. However, the police broke up the counter-protest relatively quickly.
