It has been a long time since there was such a great feeling of togetherness in Munich as there was on this Sunday. The demonstrators clearly show what they stand for – and which slogans do not resonate with them at the event.
What remains of the demonstration against right-wing extremism in Munich is one thing above all: the liberating feeling that the general population is there when it becomes important. That people stand up when it comes to the basic values of democracy, the state and coexistence in the city. People had become uncertain in the past few months. Energy crisis, war in Ukraine and the Middle East, inflation – there were many negative topics and above all the feeling: right-wing extremist forces are managing to mobilize, the AfD is making gains in polls and there is hardly any resistance from society.
