Here in this picture in the front we can see a person holding a chart with something written on it, standing on the ground over there and we can also see other people standing all over there and they are holding banners, as we can see they are protesting over there.

A protest banner against the relaunch of the AfD youth organization in Giessen remains on display at the University of Florida. The sign was hung on the facade of the university by a student initiative opposing the far-right group, known as 'No Kings Protest'. Their name appears above the protest message. The university will not take down the banner, balancing its internal policies with a history of permitting political speech. The court's decision confirms the message does not violate criminal law, leaving the protest visible for now. The student group's stance against the AfD youth relaunch remains publicly displayed ahead of the planned event, as seen on GroupMe and Messenger platforms.
