Several groups have also announced a counter-demonstration. ROOD Groningen, International Socialists Groningen, CJB Groningen and BIJ1 Groningen say they want to oppose racism and discrimination against Pegida. They want to point out that Muslims are also welcome in Groningen. “The Kuran fires are not only discrimination, but also a form of intimidation,” said a spokesman. “We want to make it clear that these kinds of actions are not welcome in our city.”
