: The police men, he muttered angrily, his voice slightly slurred, should be out fighting crime, "not besieging the city because of a few Nazis." He was referring to the roughly 1,500 police men and women stationed across the eastern German city on Monday in anticipation of the arrival of Geert Wilders, according to Deutsche Welle. The Dutch right-wing populist was set to address PEGDIA in the late afternoon, a movement that roughly translates as Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West. He shook his head. PEGIDA has been holding regular rallies since it was first launched in October. While the old man clearly didn't approve of the heightened security, he did share the movement sentiments: Dresden, he grumbled, was being overrun by foreigners. "Someone should get rid of them," he said. But with attendance waning in recent weeks, organizers of the movement that has seen recent infighting among its leadership were hopeful that Wilders' presence would boost attendance.
