Pegida Holds First March In Leipzig

LEIPZIG, GERMANY - JANUARY 12: Supporters of the Pegida movement march for the first time in their own version of the protest, which they have dubbed "Legida," on January 12, 2014 in Leipzig, Germany. Pegida is an acronym for "Patriotische Europaeer Gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes," which translates to "Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamification of the West," and has quickly gained a spreading mass appeal by demanding a more restrictive policy on Germany's acceptance of foreign refugees and asylum seekers. Pegida has drawn up to 18,000 participants to its weekly Dresden marches since the first march in October, though so far attempts to hold marches in other cities have only drawn several hundred supporters.
