The first Pegida rally in Munich after the terror attacks in Paris. Expected were more attendees, which proved to not be the case. However, the neonazis, convicted nazi terrorists, and other radicals took spots at the beginning of the parade and as speakers with the citizens of the city at the fencing of the demonstration area. This is the increasing trend: more neonazis among Pegida, neonazis taking more leading roles, and many left behind are radicalizing into neonazis and other factions of the radical right.
There were two sitting-blockades, one lasting approximately 45 minutes, during which Pegida attempted to storm the police line and the counter-demonstrators. However, police held them in place. A second blockade, along with a group of counter-demonstrators that stayed at Odeonsplatz, were handled with much more force than at the first blockade. A local journalist also experienced difficulties and physical contact with a member of the USK police force.
A reporter from one of Munich's newspapers was also subject to harassment by Pegida and threats to file criminal complaints against her three times due to "portrait photography". These were unfounded, but outline yet another tactic they attempt to use against journalists.
At the conclusion, a line of several hundred citizens of the city lined up across the street to sing "Die Moorsoldaten", led by a trumpeteer among them. Several members of the USK police division were seen mouthing the words to the song.

Where Pegida was stuck for 45 minutes during a peaceful sitting blockade by concerned citizens of the city. At the conclusion, the demonstrators voluntarily and peacefully vacated the area. In the first row, convicted neonazi terrorists Thomas Schatt and Karl-Heinz Statzberger were present, along with Petra K, Lezcek R., and numerous others from the radical right scene.

| Another blockade. It was in this area that police actions were more aggressive and violent, including against a journalist (below). |

It is presently unknown if "Arab go home" is a criminal offense in Germany. Citizens lined up across the street, singing "die Moorsoldaten", with a trumpeteer leading. USK police were seen mouthing the words. |
