About 200,000 people have taken to the streets of Germany in further protests against the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Protests on Saturday also took place in Dresden, Mainz and Hanover in a sign of growing alarm at strong public support for AfD.
Roughly 150,000 people flocked to the Reichstag parliament building in Berlin, where protesters gathered under the slogan “We are the Firewall” to protest against right-wing extremism and to show support for democracy.
Gut. Freiheit, Gleichheit, Geschwisterlichkeit. Der Rechsextremus muss scheitern.
Thats the French one.
German is Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit, found in the national hymn, on old German mark coins and now German minted euro coins.
Translates to Unity, (rule of) Law and freedom.
Recht also simply means justice, literally “what is right”. And Einigkeit tends more towards concord or consensus than pure unity which can have overtones of uniformity, that’s a different word in German (Einheitlichkeit). Freiheit means what it means.

Yeah I’m not as familiar with German anarchic slogans as I am with French and Spanish (married a mutualist and am a syndicalist), but good to know this
Rech-sex-tremus.
Deutsch is hard.
Yeah it’s a real bitch going from English to a language where the spelling makes more sense but the words are long enough to trip you up
