LIVE: Counter-protest Meets PEGIDA Demo in Dresden

Antifa protesters are due to rally in Dresden on Monday, October 26, threatening to disrupt a march of the far-right movement Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West (PEGIDA). The first of PEGIDA’s evening marches took place on October 20, 2014. Numbers kept growing until a record 20,000 supporters gathered in Dresden on October 19, 2015.

Anti-immigrant and anti-Islam protests have dogged Germany for the last year, with a spike in hate crimes against refugees over the last few months as the impact of Europe's refugee crisis continues to grow.
