Pegida, the movement dividing Germany

2015-01-28 7

Pegida, the broadly anti-immigration movement born in Germany's east, has gained a huge following in the space of just a few months and made headlines around the world. The self-proclaimed "European Patriots against the Islamisation of the West" have been attracting thousands to weekly marches across Germany and neighbouring countries. Our correspondents have joined some marchers to find out who's supporting Pegida, what they want, and what it all means for Germany.
