Racism campaigners shout 'Germany is ashamed of you' as they dwarf Islamophobic marches across country
ANTI-RACIST campaigners turned the tables on far-right Pegida demonstrators across Germany on Monday night, flooding city streets with tens of thousands of supporters.
Police in the racist campaign’s home city of Dresden said that a total of 25,000 had turned out to the latest Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West demonstration.
That may have been significantly up from last Monday’s demonstration, which drew around 18,000 people, but across the country over 100,000 anti-racists turned out to reject the organisation’s insidious brand of prejudice.
