Germany’s Far-Right Holds Anti-Migration Rally After Deadly Attack
Following a Christmas market attack in Magdeburg that left five dead, approximately 1,000 far-right protesters rallied, demanding stricter migration controls. Protesters displayed nationalist symbols and chanted anti-immigrant slogans, with minor clashes ensuing with police. The incident fueled existing anti-immigration sentiment, potentially impacting upcoming elections and strengthening the far-right Alternative for Germany party. International figures, such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, used the attack to criticize EU migration policies and warn of similar events in their own countries.
