Die Düsseldorfer Aktivisten wollen ein gemeinsames Zeichen für eine offene demokratische Gesellschaft setzen. «Wir lassen nicht zu, dass Hass, Spaltung und rechtsextreme Ideologien die Oberhand gewinnen», hatte die Initiative «Prüf NRW», die sich für eine verfassungsrechtliche Prüfung der AfD einsetzt, erklärt. «Düsseldorf stellt sich quer» befürchtet, dass eine erstarkende AfD «mehr Straßengewalt durch Neonazis und Wutbürger» mit sich bringen wird.
