Grandma against right: with laughter and courage for humanity in Jena!

in Jena, the "Grandmas Against Right" stand up with full strength for humanity and against the burgeoning right -wing extremism! This colorful group, which gathered in the pedestrian zones and in front of shopping markets, radiates a relaxed, even exuberant atmosphere while fighting for their values. Despite occasional resistance, they cannot be discouraged and remain steadfast in their commitment.

laughing is the order of the day with the grandmas! Andrea, one of the active grannies, quickly went to the city center after work to take part in a rally. "We don't want to crawl," she explains. It is not only a protest, but also a kind of self -help: "You also help yourself," she adds. These women are determined to raise their voice and not to withdraw from society.

with kindness against resistance

While you build up your stand, an older woman becomes aware of the grandmas and begins to scold. But instead of being provoked, the grannies offer a conversation. "What is your criticism?" Ask kindly, but the woman prefers to move on without explanation. Andrea explains that they also want to address the people who may not be of their opinion and that they consciously go into situations that could become uncomfortable. "It shouldn't always be as cozy in Gera," she reports on the Monday demonstrations in the East Thuringian city.

clear message against the AfD

While the grandmas provide their information sheets and buttons, they discuss political positions and legal questions. "Hungary tortures" on one of her banners, a clear indication of the inhumane treatment of refugees by Hungarian police officers. The grandmas focus on spreading their message of humanity and clear resistance to the AfD. They are determined to fight for a better, fairer society and let nothing and no one stop!
