Overview
- Freie Universität and Humboldt University withdrew rooms for Studis gegen Rechts action conferences on Wednesday, citing party‑political neutrality requirements.
- TU Berlin provided a lecture hall to a registered student association, conducted a legal assessment, and accompanied the event with awareness and de‑escalation teams.
- Organizers alleged AfD pressure influenced the cancellations, a claim FU did not confirm and which the universities characterized as procedural.
- The gatherings aimed to mobilize for protests in Gießen on November 29 against the AfD’s planned youth relaunch branded Generation Deutschland, with dozens of buses organized from Berlin.
- WDR/NDR reporting suggests the new youth project may reconnect with far‑right networks, after the Junge Alternative was classified as proven extremist by the domestic intelligence agency in 2024, and the city expects up to 60,000 demonstrators.
