Large protests against the right: Demos in NRW on June 15th in the focus!

Rems-Murr-Kreis, Deutschland - Today, on June 15, 2025, numerous demonstrations against right -wing extremism are on the agenda in Germany. The protests in several cities take place in several cities to set a clear sign of democracy and against hatred. The threatening development of the right -wing extremist AfD, which has now been classified as secure by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, is causing great resentment among the population. A current survey by Infratest dimap shows that 67 % of Germans see the AfD as a danger to democracy. News.de reports that many people have taken to the streets in the past few weeks to express their displeasure through developments.

The mobilization is enormous: Last weekend alone, more than 900,000 participants were counted nationwide. In Düsseldorf, up to 100,000 people demonstrated under the motto "Against the AfD - we are not silent. We don't look away. We act!", Where Mayor Stephan Keller also made the dangers of democracy a clear announcement. The voices in Aachen were similarly loud, where Prime Minister Daniel Günther and Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner showed their support for the demonstrators. The protests are not only supported by political dignitaries, the participants are also mixed, from young to old, many families with children are also represented and show that the topic concerns all generations. zdf.de has highlighted the dimension of these protests in his reports.

variety of initiatives

The protests take place not only in large cities, but also in smaller places. In Bremen, the "Bremen Alliance against Right" called for demonstration, while rallies in cities such as Hameln and Walsrode took place in Lower Saxony. In Schleswig-Holstein, people in Lübeck, Büsum and Quickborn moved onto the street. The citizens in Meiningen also drew attention to themselves in Thuringia. Deutschlandfunk reports of a strongly networked resistance that occurs across the republic for democracy and against extremism.

in Baden-Württemberg have already taken place in the past few weeks, including an alliance meeting in Freiburg, an open Antifa meeting in Tübingen and the Pride March in Heidelberg. But that's not all: Workshops, readings and online events, such as an event on June 18, are also planned for the subcultural struggle against modern patriarchy. The variety of formats shows that it is not just a demonstration, but a comprehensive examination of social issues.

Mobilization is not only important to protest against current dangers, but also to sensitize the impending elections in Brandenburg, Saxony and Thuringia. There the AfD has a good chance of emerging as the strongest force. This shows how important it is to be part of the democratic design and to stand up for free, open and respectful coexistence.
