Demonstrations continued in Chemnitz, Germany, on September 1, as right-wing anti-immigration protesters gathered in multiple rallies along with counter-protesters demonstrating for peaceful coexistence.
This footage, taken by journalist Edvard Chesnokov, shows the scene at the center of the rally. A number of participants holding German flags are visible. Chesnokov tweeted that “approximately ten thousand” people were at the rally.
