Pegida Holds Final Protest in Dresden After a Decade

The right-wing movement concludes its street demonstrations citing health and financial issues, amid ongoing counter-protests.

Lutz Bachmann, Pegida's founder, announced the end of street protests but hinted at new formats like podcasts.
Approximately 1,000 Pegida supporters and an equal number of counter-protesters gathered in Dresden for the movement's final demonstration.
Pegida's influence on right-wing politics in Germany is acknowledged, with figures like AfD's Hans-Christoph Berndt crediting it for electoral successes.
Counter-protests, organized by groups like 'Herz statt Hetze,' celebrated the end of Pegida's public demonstrations.
The movement's closure is attributed to Bachmann's legal troubles and declining participation, marking a shift in its public presence.
