Activists Hold Pro-Democracy Demonstration Following AfD Neo-Nazi Allegations

BERLIN, GERMANY - JANUARY 14: A demonstrator holds a placard in German saying "Everyone hates Nazis" during a pro-democracy demonstration in front of the Brandenburg Gate following allegations that members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party recently met with known neo-Nazis on January 14, 2024 in Berlin, Germany. The demonstration, organized by Fridays for Future, is in response to an investigative report by Correctiv, which describes how politicians of the AfD met with neo-Nazis, including Martin Sellner, who once led the far-right Identitarian movement, at a villa outside Berlin and discussed how they might create legislation to facilitate the mass deportation of immigrants, German citizens with immigrant roots and German citizens who have assisted immigrants. The AfD is currently the most popular party in three eastern German states that are scheduled to hold state parliamentary elections in September. (Photo by Maryam Majd/Getty Images)
