Protests in Germany against the far-right: "My grandparents were Nazis and I do not approve of the direction things are taking"

SIC Notícias13 September 2026 at 17:34

In several cities in Germany, tens of thousands of people took to the streets again to protest against the growth of the far-right in the country. The protests come following recent electoral results that favored the Alternative for Germany party (AfD).

The AfD achieved almost 44% of the votes in the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, held at the beginning of this month. This result represents the best performance ever achieved by the party in these regional elections, coming very close to the coveted absolute majority.

Among the protesters are citizens who express concern about the direction the country is taking. One of the participants, whose grandparents were Nazis, publicly expressed her disapproval of the current situation, emphasizing the importance of resisting what she considers to be a setback in democratic values.

Why this matters

Readers in the region observe a phenomenon of growing political polarization in Germany, where the far-right reaches historical levels in elections, generating significant popular mobilization against these parties. This political tension may influence the future electoral landscape and the country's internal policies.
