Thousands protest in Germany as far-right AfD party meets

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) overwhelmingly reelected Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla as co-leaders at its national convention in Erfurt on Saturday. Police said about 20,000 protesters from unions, civil society groups and left-wing parties gathered in the Thuringia state capital to block roads and disrupt delegates’ access to the Erfurt Exhibition Centre. Riot police clashed with some demonstrators during the blockade, while the party met ahead of regional elections in eastern Germany.
