According to France 24, Berlin residents gathered at the Brandenburg Gate to protest the rise of the far-right after regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt.
According to France 24, a rally took place in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of German reunification, following the victory of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt.
According to the same source, participants in this demonstration sought to express their opposition to the advancing party, described by France 24 as pro-Trump and anti-immigration.
