Migrant business owners in Magdeburg, Germany, closed their shops for half a day to protest against the high poll numbers for the right-wing extremist AfD party ahead of the state election on September 6. The 'Migra Strike' aimed to highlight the contributions of migrants to society and economy, and to raise awareness about the consequences of a possible AfD government. Around 150 shops, including restaurants, barbershops, and kiosks, participated in the strike, which also included a rally in front of the state parliament. The organizers called for responsible voting and encouraged society not to be divided into 'foreigners' and 'Germans'.
