More than 200,000 protesters have demonstrated in Munich against far-right extremism ahead of the German general election.

Demonstrators took to the streets in cities across Germany on Saturday to protest against right-wing extremism, hate and social marginalization. Germany has seen a wave of demonstrations after the conservative CDU/CSU alliance passed a non-binding motion on migration reform in parliament last week with support from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).

In the must-see video above, more than 200,000 people protested against the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) in Munich on February 8, local media reported, with similar rallies held across Germany.

Hundreds of thousands of Germans protested at the beginning of February against the initiative by the CDU, supported by the AfD, which has been gaining in the polls. The controversy revolves around the deportation of migrants.

Thousands of people took to the streets in the southern German city of Freiburg on Monday to demonstrate against the Alternative for Germany (AfD), as protests continue against a shift to the right less than two weeks before the elections.
