Thousands of people demonstrated in Magdeburg, in Saxony-Anhalt, to defend democracy and protest against the far-right. The demonstration took place on the eve of regional elections in Germany.
The action was a response to the possibility of the AfD (Alternative for Germany) winning a regional government, which would be a historic victory for the far-right party in the country.
The protests gathered several thousand participants who wanted to show their support for democratic values and their opposition to the growing influence of the radical right in German politics.
The elections in Saxony-Anhalt are seen as an important indicator of the political landscape in Germany, especially after the AfD's recent advances in various regions of the country.
