Thousands of people took to the streets in several Saxon cities over the weekendto protest against refugees. In Sebnitz alone about 2500 demonstrators formed a "living border."
According to Der Spiegel, thousands of people have participated over the weekend in Saxony in demonstrations against refugees in the country. In Sebnitz, on the border with the Czech Republic, 2500 people gathered on Sunday afternoon by dpa-estimates: They wanted to form a "living border". The police did not have estimates of the number of participants
Mike Ruckh, mayor of Sebnitz, criticized the rally. "One may disagree on what is not working," he told the MDR. "But simple answers to difficult questions do not exist."
A similar event took place in the district Einsiedel in Chemnitz. Around a thousand people had gathered on Saturday night, according to police, for a "silent march". They objected to a planned Flüchtlingsnotunterkunft [emergency accomodation for refugees] in a former GDR pioneer camp.
Also in eastern Saxony, there was a demonstration in Görlitz late on Saturday under the motto "Görlitz defends itself". Thousands of people came together, according to estimates by observers. A counter-demonstration under the motto "Görlitz Cosmopolitan" had around 500 participants.
The Good Germans will not be shamed or silenced by the bad ones.
