Supporters of the Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West (PEGIDA) have rallied outside Cologne’s main train station today, the location of nearly 200 migrant sex attacks on New Year’s Eve.
Around 4,000 turned out for the protest against allowing more migrants into the country, with Breitbart London’s Oliver Lane reporting live from the march alongside a Breitbart London photographer, who has this afternoon been hit by a firework as the protest became more violent and aggressive.
