Fresh protests against the extreme-Right drew massive crowds in Germany on Saturday, including 250,000 people in Munich, authorities said, ahead of elections this month.

The latest rallies came after an estimated 160,000 people marched in Berlin last weekend to protest recent overtures by Germany’s conservatives to the far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) ahead of parliamentary elections on Feb 23.

Organisers of the largest protest, dubbed “Munich is multicolour”, put the turnout at more than 320,000 people.

With legislative elections two weeks away, demonstrators rallied under the slogan “democracy needs you”, warning against any party working together with the AfD.

Germany has long had an unwritten rule against working with the far-Right, dating back to the aftermath of the Nazis in the Second World War.
