Protest against AfD: Antifas reject 'firewall' and target SPD and CDU in Marzahn-Hellersdorf
On Friday, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) launches its election campaign in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf district, where it received 31% of the vote in the last federal election. Antifascist groups, led by the queer-feminist collective M6 Antifa, are organizing a counter-protest featuring a concert. In an interview, activist Mika Warkentin criticizes the AfD's nationalist propaganda and tax policies, but also declares war on the SPD and CDU, accusing them of implementing austerity measures that cut funding for youth clubs, queer projects, and women's shelters. Warkentin states there is no trust in the supposed 'firewall' against the far-right, arguing that bourgeois parties undermine antifascist work. The protest highlights growing frustration with both the far-right and mainstream parties amid social cuts and an arson attack on a refugee shelter in the district.
