Germany's Pride Parades Exposed to Increasing Extremist Threats
- Germany's Christopher Street Day demonstrations faced 27 right-wing extremist counter-actions in 2024 across several cities.

- The rising hostility has led to calls for a nationwide reporting office, as most crimes against queer people remain unreported, increasing participant caution.
