Germany, too, is facing the significant rise of a right-wing populist party that is classified as definitively far-right in several federal states. While protests are taking shape in left-leaning major cities and large numbers of people are quickly rallying together, efforts to defend democracy in other regions face their own challenges. Especially in the rural areas of eastern Germany, activists and advocates working against the far right must repeatedly contend with backlash on social media and in the streets.
