Berlin on Sunday was preparing for dozens of protesters to converge in the German capital to protest against the Oberturas that break the rules of the country’s conservatives to the extreme right.
The organizers expect tens of thousands of people to appear at 3:30 pm (14:30 GMT) outside the Bundestag, the German Parliament building, and march towards the headquarters of the Conservative Party of CDU.
On Saturday, more than 220,000 people already marched in cities from all over the country, including Hamburg, Leipzig, Colonia or Stuttgart, according to figures compiled by the public broadcaster ARD.
The calls to the protests began after the conservatives of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) sought the support of the extreme right -wing alternative for Germany (AFD) for a bill in Parliament last week, less than a month before of a complementary federal choice.
Since the end of World War II, German parties have had an unwritten agreement not to work with the extreme right nationwide.
But the head of CDU, Friedrich Merz, Frontrunner before the February 23 elections, sought the parliamentary support of the extreme right AFD this week.
The two parties successfully approved a non -binding resolution on Wednesday in an attempt to block undocumented foreigners on the border, including asylum seekers. On Friday, they failed to approve another controversial bill to further restrict immigration.
Merz launched his repression of total immigration after the police arrested an Afghan man after a deadly knife attack a week ago against a group of kindergarten children.
He “wants to cross” the rule of not working with “right -wing extremists at once,” said the leftist Campact, one of the protest organizers in Berlin. Many unions, civil society and human rights groups, churches and environmental activists have responded to the call.
The central leftist of the left, Olaf Scholz, warned that the conservatives and the extreme right could soon join forces to govern the country, as has been the case in other countries.
