Approximately an hour prior to the gathering, people convened near Hofgarten for a protest against the event. The "Dusseldorf Stands in the Way" coalition had orchestrated the counter-protest. A different demonstration with the moniker "For a Solidary Dusseldorf Without Right-Wing Populists" was called off, asserted the police spokesperson. The attendees waved various signage, displaying messages like "In the Name of Love for Our Community: No to AfD," "Once Again," or "Anyone Who Votes for AfD Votes for Nazis."
