Thousands protest as Germany's far-right AfD holds its national convention
Thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday as Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) held its national convention in Erfurt. The demonstrations reflected how divisive the AfD remained, even as its political fortunes continued to rise. This year's convention drew additional controversy as it coincided with the 100 year anniversary of a Nazi Party meeting held just nearby that really consolidated Adolf Hitler's power over the nascent fascist movement. Historians and political opponents said the timing carries powerful symbolism, an accusation the AfD rejected.
