USA: Anti-Trump protesters rally in Albuquerque

22.02.2016
Hundreds of people marched through Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Sunday to protest against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
During the march, protesters carried placards condemning Trump and bigotry, with messages including: "Unite against hate. Stand against Trump and all bigotry." A rally was also held outside the Civic Plaza.
Discussing the protest, one demonstrator said: "We want the country and the world to know that Trump's hate speech is very scary to all of us and we do not support it and we are looking for someone who can lead us without this kind of hate and division."
Trump has been criticised throughout his campaign for his stance on immigration, the refugee situation and Islam. In December, 2015, he received widespread condemnation after he called for a "total and complete shutdown" of all Muslims entering the US. Despite his controversial comments, Trump continues to lead polls nationwide and is the current favourite to win the GOP nomination. On Saturday, the former Apprentice star won the South Carolina Republican primary, taking 32.5 percent of the vote. Marco Rubio finished in second place with 22.5 percent and Ted Cruz took third with 22.3 percent.
