Thousands of people took to the streets across Germany in response to the news that the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party had supported a motion by the conservative CDU/CSU parties. The public outrage stems from concerns over legitimizing far-right ideologies by mainstream political entities.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The collaboration between the CDU/CSU and the far-right AfD raises serious concerns about the shifting political landscape in Germany. It is worrying to see mainstream political groups potentially normalizing the extremist views of far-right entities. This could have significant implications on the social cohesion and democratic fabric of the country. The large public turnout in these protests highlights the importance of vigilance and active opposition to any form of political extremism. From a technological standpoint, this movement also underscores the pivotal role of digital platforms and social networks in mobilizing and organizing large-scale social actions.
