Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom.

Mass Anti-AfD Protests Continue in Germany as Far Right Gathers for “Make Europe Great Again” Summit

HeadlineFeb 10, 2025

In Madrid, leaders of Europe’s extreme-right parties gathered Saturday at an event organized by Spain’s Vox party called “Make Europe Great Again.” Attendees railed against immigration and hailed Trump’s return to office. Speakers included Italy’s Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini, French National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: “The Trump tornado has changed the world in just a few weeks. An era has ended. Yesterday we were their heretics; today we are the mainstream.”

Meanwhile, in Germany, at least 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich Saturday against the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, which is polling in second place two weeks ahead of national elections.
