Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across Germany on Saturday to protest the
00:04
far-right AfD party.
00:07
The demonstrations come after a report was published on January 10th saying that party
00:11
members met with right-wing extremists to discuss the deportation of millions of immigrants,
00:17
including some with German citizenship.
00:20
In Frankfurt alone, authorities said the protests drew 35,000 people.
00:24
"I expected that I wouldn't be standing here alone, but there are so many of them,
00:30
not just here, but all the way to Zeil.
00:32
It's unbelievable.
00:33
It's good to know that we are the majority."
00:38
The backlash prompted by the report, published by media outlet Correctiv, has prompted renewed
00:43
calls for Germany to consider banning the AfD.
00:47
The protests also reflect growing concerns over the party's growing popularity among
00:51
German voters after it won its very first mayoral and district council elections last
00:57
summer.
