The rallies were organised on social media by a group calling itself ““Pulse of Europe”“:http://pulseofeurope.eu/?lang=en .
The group says it isn’t tied to any particular political party
The protests began last year as an attempt to counter growing nationalist sentiment on the continent, often expressed in opposition to the European Union.
