Far-right protesters in Germany call for mass deportations of migrants after Christmas market attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThere were scuffles at a far-right “demonstration against terror” in Germany’s Magdeburg attended by around 2,100 people last night, reports say, one day after the deadly ramming attack at a Christmas market.
Protesters wearing black balaclavas could be seen holding a large banner with the word “remigration,” a term popular with far-right supporters seeking the mass deportation of migrants and people deemed not ethnically German.
The motive for Friday night’s attack remains unclear. Investigators are probing the suspect’s criticism of German authorities’ treatment of Saudi refugees, among other things. He was also a staunch critic of Islam and had voiced support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on social media platform X.
