Germany protests erupt across dozens of cities against AfD rise FAST-MOVING

Tens of thousands of people across Germany have taken to the streets to protest against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The demonstrations, organized by groups such as Prüf and Campact, occurred in approximately 20 cities, including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf, and Leipzig.

The protests follow a significant electoral victory for the AfD in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, where the party secured nearly 44 percent of the vote. This result has brought the far-right party closer to forming a state government than at any time since the end of World War II. Protesters have carried signs demanding a legal ban on the AfD, citing concerns over its impact on democracy and its extremist leanings.

While some political figures, including North Rhine-Westphalia Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst, have proposed task forces to investigate a potential ban, CDU leader Friedrich Merz has expressed skepticism regarding such a legal approach. In Berlin, the AfD held its own counter-protest during the demonstrations.
