In Berlin, at Wittenbergplatz, political fervor peaked on February 10, 2024, as members and politicians of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) gathered for a pivotal pre-election rally. The event underscored the deep divisions within German society, as counter-protests erupted on the opposite side, signaling strong opposition to the AfD's campaign. The AfD's rally highlighted their controversial stance on immigration and national identity. High-profile AfD figures, including Deputy Leader Beatrix von Storch, Berlin AfD Chairwoman Kristin Brinker, and Bundestag members Gottfried Curio and Goetz Fromming, addressed the crowd, advocating for policies that would dramatically reshape Germany's approach to immigration. Their speeches focused on a hardline immigration policy, vowing that, if elected, the AfD would initiate the expulsion of individuals they deem as illegal residents within Germany. The events in Berlin also come in the wake of revelations about a meeting of right-wing extremists in Potsdam, further polarizing the political debate. The meeting, which came to light in early 2024, saw discussions on strategies for the so-called remigration," sparking nationwide protests.
