This article covers a massive rally that occurred in Berlin against the rising popularity of a far-right populist group in Germany. This party has been running on anti-immigration as well as other points. What made this rally particularly overwhelming was the surprising turnout of over 240,000 when the organizers were expecting 40,000 people. The rally is also interesting because the global perspective has been focused on the increased support on the far-right group, but this is a reminder that it is still not as popular as others.
