Critics Say German Politics Ignores Anti-AfD and Climate Protests

Original: @ isotopp Die Politik ignoriert alle Demos die nicht von Nazis angeführt werden. Wie z.B. die Demos gegen die noafd 2024

A widely shared German commentary argues that mainstream politics ignores mass demonstrations unless far-right groups are involved. The author points to the large anti-AfD rallies of 2024 and the 2019 Fridays for Future climate strikes, which drew hundreds of thousands or even millions of participants, as protests politicians overlooked. The claim is that small far-right gatherings receive far more political attention and response than these huge civic mobilisations, fuelling frustration among activists and supporters.

Why now: People are debating why governments respond more to far-right demonstrations than to much larger pro-democracy and climate protests
