in 2015 the slogan "wir sind das volk" became popular again among members of pegida (an islamophobic far-right nationalist movement), and various groups that claimed to stand in the tradition of monday demonstrations. here, however, the ethnic connotation of "volk" quickly became obvious. while the slogan "wir sind ein volk" was no longer in use since the reunification, the slogan "wir sind das volk" was given a new meaning. now the word "wir" was used by right wing protesters to refer to themselves, in order to distinguish from migrants and so-called "gutmenschen" ("good people", meaning germans that supported refugees). after chancellor angela merkel decided to give shelter to a growing number of refugees, especially from syria, in 2015, right wing groups as well as more modest movements, that were referred to by the media as "the concerned citizens", started to use the slogan. they wanted to indicate that, according to their beliefs, the "volk" (meaning only ethnic "germans") should have more rights than immigrants and especially refugees. the similarity to the national socialist "volk" conception was pointed out by various media. the protesters also made references to the protests against the dictatorship of the gdr, since they regarded it as their right to decide whether the state should give shelter to refugees or not. this, however, is a constitutional right in germany for "[p]ersons persecuted on political grounds" that can not be changed unless the constitution is changed with a two-thirds majority in both houses of the parliament; however, asylum seekers who enter "from a member state of the european communities" already have no constitutional right to asylum.
