15th February 2020. Dresden, Saxony, Germany. Pictured: The far-right march takes route through the streets of Dresden. / Far-right groups converge on Dresden to take park in a march to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Dresden bombings in WW2. Participants included members of Pegida, AfD and Neo-Nazis. A large contingent of Antifa and anti-fascists also demonstrated in the Saxony city with hundreds of police attempting to keep the two sides apart. In 2019 Dresden City Council officially declared a ‘Nazi emergency’ amid fears over the rise of far-Right groups in the eastern German city. Last week, the AfD threw German politics into turmoil by unexpectedly backing a centrist candidate as governor in Thuringia state. The fumbled reaction to the situation by two other political parties — including Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right Christian Democrats — triggered widespread outrage and numerous resignations, including that of Merkel’s heir apparent, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.
