Germany – A thousand Neo-Nazis March in the Streets of Dortmund
Radical right wing activists, mostly dressed in black, proudly strode down the streets of Dortmund waving black, white and red flags. Police secured the event in an attempt to avoid violent flashes between the opposing sides. Passersby who
bserved the marchers called out to them: "Out with the Nazis."
The Social Democratic Party SPD organized a demonstration in response in which hundreds of people took part. The demonstrators arranged their own short march at the end of which they had a gathering in of the large squares in the city.
Some of the left wing demonstrators waved Israeli flags. Others waved banners which bore the slogan:"Fight Anti-Semitism, Show Solidarity with Israel."
One of the left wing demonstrators said: "The police don't have a problem with allowing a march of this kind, but we, the citizens of Dortmund, have witness with our own eyes, the dramatic developments of recent years. We do not like the fact that the Nazis are gaining power in Europe. I want to show them that we are here and that we oppose them."
