Germany in protest fever: Demos against the right in August 2025!
On August 13, 2025, a lot of attention in Germany will once again be focused on the fight against right-wing extremism. Numerous demonstrations and events are taking place these days that are directed against hatred, anti-Semitism and incitement. These movements are part of an ongoing wave of protests that have encouraged millions of people to stand up for democracy and diversity since the beginning of 2023. So reported news.de that despite the Bundestag's summer break, which began on July 11, 2025, mobilizations continue in several federal states.
The protests are not new. There have already been conspicuous demonstrations in the past, such as the largest anti-right-wing action on February 8, 2025 in Munich, where, according to the police, at least 250,000 people came together. This ongoing wave of resistance stems from concerns about the AfD and its members' possible collaborations with established parties, as well rnd.de is described.
Diverse actions against the right
Various events are planned throughout Germany this month. In addition to the direct demonstrations, workshops, readings and discussion groups are also part of the program to draw attention to the increasing influence of right-wing extremist ideologies. These events have already taken place in several federal states and will continue until the end of the month. News.de highlights that online events are also organized to reach a wider audience and promote dialogue.
An overview of the upcoming events shows that demonstrations against the right-wing are taking place in different ways in different federal states. Here are some of the scheduled dates:
| Federal State | Date | event |
|---|---|---|
| Baden-Württemberg | August 14, 2025 | Open meeting in Stuttgart |
| Bavaria | August 30, 2025 | Demo “Nuremberg remains Nazi-free” |
| Berlin | August 21, 2025 | Plena of students against the right |
| Lower Saxony | August 30, 2025 | CSD in Aurich |
| North Rhine-Westphalia | August 30, 2025 | CSD in Lüdenscheid |
With these activities, the organizers are sending a strong signal against the increase in right-wing extremist tendencies and showing that society is ready to get involved. This is also supported by the over 1.7 million people who have taken part since the major protest against the AfD party conference in Riesa and who are actively committed to an open and diverse society.
Another exciting aspect is the ongoing discussion about state funding for NGOs that oppose right-wing extremism. Critics question whether political neutrality is guaranteed in this sense, thereby fueling the dialogue about the handling of funding for organizations such as “Grandmas Against the Right”, which has enormous relevance for future mobilizations.
Overall, it is clear that engagement against right-wing extremism has reached a higher level in Germany, and this year's actions are just the latest expression of long-term resistance. Given these developments, it will be exciting to see how the situation develops in the coming weeks.
