Approximately 15,000 protestors blocked roads and access routes to the conference center where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was holding its convention in Erfurt. The demonstrations aimed to disrupt the gathering and voice opposition to the party’s ideology. This significant mobilization highlights growing concern over the AfD’s increasing popularity within Germany. Recent polls indicate the AfD now enjoys support from 29% of the electorate, surpassing the 22% backing for Chancellor Scholz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The protests represent a powerful display of civil resistance against the rise of far-right extremism. Authorities managed the situation, but the demonstration underscored the deep political divisions within German society. The strong showing in polls for AfD raises questions about the future of German politics.
