Around 20,000 people took to the streets of Berlin to protest against nationalist and far-right parties, ahead of the May 26 European elections

Thousands of people marched in cities across Germany on Sunday to protest against nationalist and far-right parties looking to secure more seats in this week's European elections.Recent polls show far-right parties like Italy's League, Germany's Alternative for Germany party and French leader Marie Le Pen's National Rally , are expected to do well in the vote for seats in European Parliament.

"I am here because I don't want to relive what a national-socialist party already did during my lifetime. That should never happen again," said Renate Foigt, 74, referring to the ideology of Nazi Germany."I hope more and more people take to the streets to say 'Stop'." Several thousand also protested in the Austrian capital Vienna, where on Saturday protesters demanded new elections after far-right leader and vice-chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache resigned over a hidden-camera scandal suggesting he was open to corruption.Italian populist leader Matteo Salvini on Saturday had gathered Europe's disparate nationalists for a unifying rally that was overshadowed by the scandal shaking Austria's rightist coalition.
