Tens of thousands demonstrate against far right in Germany

Tens of thousands of people joined a demonstration against cooperation with the far right in Berlin on Sunday, after US Vice-President JD Vance called for Germany to drop the longstanding taboo. Protesters voiced concerns that the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is expected to become the second-biggest party in next Sunday’s vote, has been normalised with the support of prominent US figures such as Elon Musk.
