Around 2,000 demonstrators gathered in the German city of Cottbus over the weekend to protest mass migration after the city had seen a rise in violence that often involved migrants. The protest, organised by the group Zukunft Heimat or Future Homeland, saw 2,000 individuals gather to protest the ongoing migrant violence in the city, Deutsche Welle reports.
Among the protesters were everyday Germans, young and old, along with right-wing activists.
One of the most famous faces at the event was Dresden-based anti-Islamisation movement PEGIDA founder Lutz Bachmann who gave a speech to the crowd. Anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician Daniel Freiherr von Lutzow was also present but did not speak.
A smaller group of counter-demonstrators, estimated to comprise of around 600 individuals, was also present at the event but was outnumbered by the anti-mass migration crowd.
The protests come after a series of high-profile violent clashes in the city between locals and migrants. In one case, a Syrian migrant became the first person to be banned from the city after he pulled out a knife on a young local couple.
Shortly after announcing the ban, the city government released a statement indicating that the city would not be taking in any new asylum seekers. Cottbus joined a number of other German towns like Delmenhorst, Wilhelmshaven, and Salzgitter in Lower Saxony which all banned new arrivals last year.
The city is not the only city in Germany dealing with an explosion of crime in which migrants are often suspects. In the German capital of Berlin, the Alexanderplatz area has been turned into what some are calling a no-go zone due to the influx of asylum seeker drug dealers and petty thieves.

Only 2000?.......................
RE: Over 2,000 Germans March Against Mass Migration In City Experiencing Wave Of Migrant Crime
2,000 is TOO FEW to get the Politician’s attention. You need at least 100 times that number.
Sounds like some of them are waking up, but I doubt it will do much.
Americans need to organize into marches like this. Unfortunately, the media would have a heyday taking the BLM/ANTIFA narrative of a bunch of racists marching to oppress minorities...
What would mess them all up - if here in the US, such a march would be organized and led by the thousands of black families who have experienced wage depression, loss of jobs, and further elevated crimes do to illegal (and even legal) immigration.
der rassists
That looks like a soccer stadium, not a march.
They must be Islamophobic........../s
They also do not say that 2000 Ukrainian refugees were thrown out in the street to accomodate these goat humpers. As my UK buddy says, whatever their agenda is in western Europe, it is islamic
The bbc reported retaliatory attacks on migrants after the murder of an 18 year old girl, the narrative reported was attacks on migrants by “extreme right wing factions” Keep up the good work people, the gov and the media DO NOT HAVE YOUR BACKS
And yet, Merkel remains in power....go figure.
Me’thinks most Germans are idiots.....
Germans realizing their leaders are committing suicide by Muslim.
Wait for the Muslims shock when they become the new Jews......
Yeah. That’s a puny amount of people marching. Jeez, if anything the Krauts really knew how to march at one time.
For a fairly small town, that is a lot of people.
