Demo in Roxförde: Against fascism” – protest against AfD celebration!

On August 23, 2025, numerous people gathered in Roxförde to demonstrate against a secret AfD event. The protest was organized by the “Every Year in Summer” alliance, which strongly supports democratic values. Loud az online Around 350 people registered for the AfD event, which was declared a “private celebration” by Sebastian Koch, chairman of the AfD Altmark West district association. But the counter-demonstrators were not fooled and loudly declared: “All together against fascism!”

Gero Harzer, a committed participant in the counter-demonstration, summed it up: “A meeting of 500 right-wing extremist people cannot remain private.” The speakers at the protest were also determined and emphasized that there should be no place for a “brown swamp” in the region. Karoline Lemme, who comes from the “Every Year in Summer” alliance, praised the courage of the Roxförder people to stand against the AfD.

A secret summer festival

The AfD youth summer festival, known as Junge Alternative, has been taking place regularly near Gardelegen for several years. Over the years, the event has developed into one of the largest right-wing events in the region, with the number of participants increasing in some cases. In 2023, around 550 people took part in the festival, which featured right-wing rock and rap music as well as speeches from right-wing protagonists. Before such a mobilization for a counter-protest took place, Sebastian Koch said on July 26th that no official summer festival would take place in Roxförde - only a “private celebration” was planned.

The Antifa group “Every Year in Summer” mobilized months in advance and called for support.

Waves of resistance

The events in Roxförde are part of a larger wave of protests against right-wing extremism in Germany. Since the beginning of 2023, millions of people across the country have been demonstrating against the AfD and possible cooperation with right-wing forces.

The ongoing protests are not only supported by local initiatives, but also show a nationwide trend towards more civic engagement against right-wing extremism. The resistance in Roxförde is therefore much more than just a one-off event; he is part of a broad movement that fights for democracy and diversity.

The mobilization against the AfD's secret summer festival shows that resistance in civil society is strong and that aversion to right-wing ideologies remains widespread. Each of these protests helps to raise the voices of those who actively support an open society.
