Anti-AfD protests sweep Germany as far right closes in on two more states
Protests against the far‑right Alternative for Germany (AfD) have erupted across the country after the party won the Saxony‑Anhalt regional election. Demonstrators fear the AfD could soon control the states of Berlin and Mecklenburg‑Western Pomerania, prompting large rallies in several cities. Police set up barriers; organizers say tens of thousands rallied, and authorities monitor the situation closely.
