<span class="mw-page-title-main">COVID-19 protests in Germany</span> Ongoing protests against the COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions in Germany

Since April 2020, when Germany's Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the governmental lockdown imposed in March to counter the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow blanket bans on rallies, numerous protests have been held in Germany against anti-pandemic regulations. The protests attracted a mix of people from varied backgrounds, including supporters of populist ideas who felt called to defend against what they saw as an arrogant central government; supporters of various conspiracy theories; and sometimes far right-wing groups. Anti-vaxxers generally also formed a major part of the protesters. Some protesters held strongly negative views towards public media, who they believed to report in an unfair manner; repeatedly, journalists covering the rallies were subjected to harassment and physical attacks. Such attacks were the main reason why Germany slipped from eleventh to 13th place in the Press Freedom Index of Reporters Without Borders, according to a report published on 20 April 2021.

Marie-Thérèse Kaiser is a German politician of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and former model. The Rotenburg action alliance Aufstehen gegen Rassismus described her as one of the most important activists of the German Neue Rechte political scene.
