Berlin: Adbustings and other actions against AfD election campaign conclusion
Deutsch (original) · Auto-translated to English
Brown bottles
For the adbustings, the activists from the Workshop for Antifascist Actions (w2a) used .a. Advertising posters for Berliner Pilsener. The image of a satisfied customer with the typical brown beer bottle in his hand inspired the activists to come up with the slogan: “Drink brown bottles, don’t vote!”
Older than this radio
Posters from the Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) also had to be used for anti-fascist slogans. Next to the picture of a radio it now says: "AfD: Party of the rich. AfD vote for something like that from 1933! (older than this radio!)" and "AfD: Party for the rich! AfD doesn't solve your problems!"
graffiti
Other groups left anti-AFD graffiti on the square. “FCK AfD” and FCK NZS” was written in large letters on the walls of the pee booth. Because the Nazis clearly couldn’t be expected to do that, they covered it with garbage bags before the rally began.
spray chalk
Antifascists also left the slogan “Colorful instead of brown” on the pavement around Klausener Platz using a stencil and spray chalk.
Unfortunately, some early riser painted over the slogans in many places that morning.
Colorful posters
A civil society alliance has announced a counter-rally from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The motto: Blue alert!

At 2 p.m. sharp, 300-400 counter-demonstrators with whistles and posters were at the start. Your posters were very impressive.
Counter rally
Neighborhood initiatives and democratic parties have designed their own program with a stage, speakers and music. People from initiatives in the Klausenerplatz neighborhood and various politicians spoke.
Residents take a stand
Rainbow flags and sayings such as: Liberte egalite FCK AFD could also be read in the windows of the neighboring houses.
CDUers are disturbing...
At the very end, shortly before the end, two CDU members showed up. They had a spray stencil and paint spray cans with them. In the middle of the counter-rally, they provocatively sprayed the slogan "Exclude extremists. Vote for the CDU on September 20th!" on the pavement. They also filmed themselves.
...and get arrested!
The video is almost certainly a hit because the action landed the two in the hands of the police: they were detained, searched and taken away to the amusement of those around them.
The action shows where the CDU and the so-called bourgeois center stand in the face of the Nazis' electoral successes: Instead of using the AfD's end-of-election campaign party to show clear opposition to the right, the two CDU members preferred to try to kick people who are defending themselves against the AFD.
Great day
The rally was pretty cool. It was very cool to see how the Nazis' babble was simply drowned out in noise. And it was also a rare experience to experience how many strange characters appeared at night to cause mischief in different ways.
House search for adbusting
At this point we would like to express our solidarity with the activist from Oldenburg, where the cops searched her house on Monday, August 24th, 2026 because she was accused of adbusting:

Federal Constitutional Court: House searches due to adbusting are illegal
This shows once again: The German police say "legal? Illegal? We don't give a shit!". It was not until 2023 that the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe declared Gaga house searches illegal. We wish those affected all the best and hope that you have the strength and support to take bold action against it like Frida and the solidarity group did back then. If not: →w2a@riseup.net
Save the date: Skillshare on Adbusting, December 4th - 6th, 2026
You and your gang also want to do adbusting? Don't know where to start? No problem, together with the Antimilitarist Action Network (a2n) we are doing the skill share “Bust Bundeswehr advertising!” This will take place in Berlin from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th December.

Solidarity with Noblogs.org!
Unfortunately we cannot do the text on our blog. Because the blog operator Noblogs has blocked edit access to their pages. The reason for this is that US foreign criminal Mark Rubio put the Italian blog operator Autistici on his ministry's sanctions list because of its alleged support of Antifa terrorism. We find that very common. Dear people from Autistici, if you ever need a place to stay in Berlin or another German city: Please feel free to get in touch! →w2a@riseup.net
