Dortmund Protests Against Right-Wing Extremism
City Residents Unite to Build a "Firewall"
In a show of solidarity, approximately 200 demonstrators gathered outside the AfD office in Dortmund's city center in August 2023.
The protest was organized by the "Dortmunder City Against Right-Wing Extremism" group, who aim to create a "firewall" against right-wing ideologies in the city.
The demonstration coincided with the BVB Champions League final in London, with many protesters donning the team's jerseys as a symbol of unity. Live updates and highlights from the match were displayed on large screens at the protest site, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The protest comes amid growing concerns over the rise of right-wing extremism in Germany. Recent incidents, including a fatal police shooting of a homeless person, have sparked outrage and calls for action.
