Chemnitzer fights against the right: Grandma's show flag in Leipzig!

A moving day in Leipzig has made the Chemnitzer Claudia Huwe-Klug joining the "Grandma against right". On August 17, 2024, around 100 right -wing extremists gathered at Leipzig Central Station to chant their slogans during the CSD. Among them was the 54-year-old Huwe-Klug, who happened to get into the crowd and now tells of her fears and motivations.

The air was filled with imperial flags and aggressive calls when the right -wing extremists raised their voice. Huwe-Klug, which suddenly found itself in this charged environment, describes how it was overwhelmed by the situation. "It scares me what happens here," she says, describing the urgency to position itself against such currents. Your participation in the movement is not only a personal step, but also a sign of resistance to racism and intolerance.

The "Grandma against Right" are a group of committed women who work for an open and tolerant society. Huwe-Klug and other members report on their motives to defend themselves against growing right-wing violence. "We can't just watch our values are threatened," she explains. The community not only offers women a space for their protest, but also a platform to raise their voices and to make themselves heard.
