Based on the Dresden example of PEGIDA, in mid-January 2014 almost 5,000 people take to the streets in Leipzig to demonstrate against a supposed Islamization. On the other side are 30,000 counter-protestors. Leipzig sets an example against xenophobia and racism. But the LEGIDA fans will not simply disappear. What do these people think? A report from the heart of the demonstration. Demonstrators and counterdemonstrators speak out. This feature provides an insight into the mind of the LEGIDA followers.
