European protesters are opposing right-wing populism and nationalist parties prior to upcoming election to be held between May 23 and May 26.

Marches occurred in many major cities such as Berlin and Budapest under banners like “One Europe for Everyone: Your Voice Against Nationalism” and “no to hate, yes to change”.

A protestor, Connie Menzensieg says she believed the EU would be extremely important in helping Europe compete with the US and China in the future.
