Freie Sachsen and the Volksstimme Bürgerbündnis Zwickau (civic association Voice of the People of Zwickau) were among the organizers of the actions.
They are considered to be right-wing extremists. In the announcement of the rally, they called for a change in the cabinet and for a review of sanctions against Russia. The demonstrations took place in the city of Zwickau.
In the same place last week a similar rally was held, which was attended by several thousand people.
Because of the anti-Russian sanctions in Germany, fuel prices went up and the supply of Russian gas decreased. In connection with this, the country's authorities urge citizens to wash less often and reduce the temperature in the apartments.
German industry has also lost its competitive edge. This has also affected other areas of the EU economy.
