Personal note: went to (some) of the countermarch yesterday, and then watched TV coverage of both.
@sundersays.bsky.social is right that the far-right/racists on the main march are a (small) minority whose numbers are not growing.

As with austerity in the 2010s, if none of the main parties can be honest about immigration then the public debate will be equally dishonest.
