Linz against the right
Linz Against Right is a broad anti-fascist and democratic alliance of more than 60 organizations in the city of Linz in Austria .

Counter-demonstrators blocked the announced "walk" by 150 Pegida supporters on February 8, 2015 in Linz. The counter-demonstration organized by the Alliance against the Right mobilized 1,600 to 1,800 participants, according to the police, and 3,200 according to the organizers. 1,800 people demonstrated against 100 Pegida supporters in Linz on February 21.
