Germany: Right-wing activists plan to demonstrate in Leipzig, Nov. 26

Event

Right-wing activists plan to demonstrate in Leipzig, Nov. 26, under the campaign "Ami Go Home". Organizers, including a number of regional political groups, expect up to 10,000 attendees, who will gather at 15:30 in Simonsplatz in front of the Federal Administrative Court. They will then follow a march route and return to Simonsplatz. Counterprotestors are also mobilizing and are expected to attend in large numbers, likely protesting at three main locations along the right-wing activists' march route.

Police authorities are likely to deploy additional resources to monitor the event. Road closures are likely in the vicinity of the rallies, leading to localized traffic disruptions. Clashes between protestors, counterprotestors, and authorities cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a security measure. Allow extra time for travel in central Leipzig. Follow local security and travel advice.
