Answer» What is Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes mean? Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamicisation of the Occident (German: Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes), abbreviated Pegida (German: [peˈɡiːda], stylised in its logo as PEGIDA), is a pan-European, anti-Islam, far-right political movement. German Pegida believes that Germany is being increasingly Islamicised and defines itself in opposition to Islamic extremism. Pegida wants to curb immigration; it accuses the authorities of failure to enforce immigration laws. Pegida has held many demonstrations; often accompanied by counter-demonstrations. In 2015, Lutz Bachmann, the founder of Pegida, resigned from the movement after reportedly posing as Adolf Hitler and making racist statements on Facebook. He was later reinstated. Though nationalism is a central feature, Pegida offshoots have formed in various countries. reference nan |
