PEGIDA Protests (2014-)
Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (German: Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes), acronymically PEGIDA and Pegida, is a far right anti-immigrant German organization based in Dresden. Since October 2014 it has been organizing public demonstrations, aimed at the German government, against what it claims to be the "Islamization" of the Western world. Its founder and leader Lutz Bachmann resigned after a photograph of him dressed as Adolf Hitler surfaced. The organization is anti-Muslim and anti-EU, and pro-Putin. It is considered a successor of the German Defence League and thus the English Defence League.
