German police intervened as protesters attempted to disrupt a convention of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), the country’s largest opposition party, in Erfurt. The AfD is holding the convention aiming to demonstrate unity and extend the tenure of its current co-leaders. This gathering occurs as the party experiences growing electoral success, challenging the established political landscape. Mainstream political forces have attempted to create a "firewall" against the AfD’s rising influence, but recent gains are testing that strategy. The protests highlight the strong opposition to the far-right party’s policies and ideology within Germany. The convention’s outcome and the extent of public resistance will be closely watched as indicators of the AfD’s future trajectory.
