35,000 People Demonstrate for Freedom and Tolerance in Dresden
Dresden, August 25 (QNA) - Tens of thousands of Germans in Dresden, participated in a demonstration by the Alliance "Indivisible" for an open and solidary society last night. Participants in the demonstration raised slogans against the growing anti-Islamic movement "BEGIDA" in Germany in particular and in Europe in general. According to initial estimates, at least 35,000 people followed the call. In fact, a kilometer-long train of people crossed the city center. This demonstration comes amid fears that the right-wing "Alternative for Germany" party, which supports the "BEGIDA" movement will get more votes in State elections in Saxony and Brandenburg on September 1. Opinion polls suggest the extremist party could come first in both states. (QNA)
