It’ll grow.
The first PEGIDA marches in Dresden grew from week to week, it wasn’t until the intimidation and threats and forced change in times of the rally, that the numbers were affected.

Police spokesman Roman Hahslinger told AFP that some 400 Pegida supporters showed up but that 5,000 people joined the counter-protest, shouting “Nieder, nieder, nieder mit Pegida!” (“Down, down, down with Pegida!”) and waving rainbow flags.
The two groups exchanged verbal insults and chants on a chilly evening in central Vienna but were kept apart by around 1,200 police, and there were no incidents of violence reported.
NOTE: Clearly The Local is in the tank for being against Pegida, the ”anti-Islamization” movement countered by the colorful counter-demonstration. Rainbow flags defending Islam, the idiocy is staggering. Sheeesh.
