00:00 On Saturday, tens of thousands of individuals participated in protests against the far-right
00:16 movement in cities across Germany.
00:19 The events featured rallying slogans such as "Never Again is Now", "Against Hate"
00:25 and "Defend Democracy".
00:27 These substantial crowds marked the latest surge in a series of demonstrations that have
00:31 been steadily gaining momentum in recent days.
00:35 The protests unfolded in response to revelations that right-wing extremists recently convened
00:40 to discuss the deportation of millions of immigrants, including those with German citizenship.
00:46 Some members of the far-right Alternative for German Party, AMD, were reportedly present
00:51 at this meeting.
00:52 In Frankfurt, a Saturday afternoon protest gathered 35,000 people, while cities like
00:58 Stuttgart, Nuremberg and Hanover also witnessed sizable crowds in their demonstrations.
01:04 A similar protest on Friday in Hamburg, Germany's second-largest city, drew a reported crowd
01:09 of 50,000 and had to be concluded prematurely due to safety concerns arising from the massive
01:15 gathering.
01:16 Additional protests are scheduled for Sunday in major German cities, including Berlin,
01:20 Munich and Cologne, with expectations of drawing tens of thousands of participants.
01:26 The ongoing demonstrations, sparked by a report on an alleged far-right meeting in November,
01:31 indicate a significant and growing popular opposition to the far-right Alternative for
01:35 German Party.
01:37 The catalyst for the protests was a report by Correctiv, revealing the far-right meeting
01:41 attended by figures from the extremist Identitarian Movement and the AMD.
01:47 Austrian citizen Martin Stelner, a prominent member of the Identitarian Movement, presented
01:53 a vision for deportations at the meeting.
01:55 The protests, surpassing organizers' expectations in size and reach, suggest a heightened public
02:01 mobilization against far-right ideologies.

02:11 We are not afraid of deportations.
02:16 We are not afraid of deportations.
