Berlin, Germany - February 02, 2025 More than 60,000 people gathered in Berlin on Sunday, February 2, 2025, to protest any collaboration between mainstream political parties and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). They demanded a strong political "firewall" to isolate the party. Organizers claimed a turnout of up to 250,000, significantly exceeding the initially expected 20,000 demonstrators. Under the slogan "Uprising of the Decent – Demonstration for the Firewall," participants assembled at the Reichstag before marching toward the headquarters of the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU). They opposed recent votes in the German Bundestag, where CDU lawmakers sided with the AfD on migration policy. This demonstration was one of the largest protests held across Germany in recent weeks, as civil society groups, unions, and political activists mobilized against what they describe as a dangerous shift in the country's political landscape.ψύ
