Demonstration against far-right parties in European politics

Around 200 protesters gathered on Prague’s Jan Palach Square on Saturday afternoon to demonstrate against the rise of the far-right and growing racist and xenophobic sentiments in Europe. Participants expressed solidarity with Gaza, and criticized politicians and parties such as Okamura’s Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) and Germany’s AfD for their populist policies. The event was co-organized by several organizations, including Prague4PalestineYouth, the Czechoslovak Anarchist Association, Socialist Solidarity and World Without War and Violence. The protest ended peacefully and no incidents were reported.
