AfD-Parteitag in Erfurt: Wie weit darf Protest gehen? | Doku

Protests, demonstrations, blockades, and a major police operation – that's what happened at the AfD party conference in Erfurt. While Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla spoke at the trade fair, activists and citizens debated democratic resistance. 📍 Subscribe to MDR Investigativ now:    / @mdrinvestigativ   Tens of thousands of people protested against the AfD party at its conference in Erfurt. While activists from the "Resist" alliance attempted to disrupt delegates' arrival with road blockades and sit-ins, the police deployed thousands of officers. Simultaneously, other initiatives organized rallies, concerts, and demonstrations in the city center. This report follows protesters from Leipzig and Erfurt, observes the police operation around the trade fair grounds, and speaks with activists, residents, politicians, church representatives, and a constitutional lawyer. The central question is: How far can protests against the AfD go – and where are the lines between demonstration, civil disobedience, and blockade? With Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla at the AfD federal party conference, protests in Thuringia, blockades on access roads, and one of the largest police operations in the state's history, the weekend in Erfurt was a major political event. This report presents different perspectives on democracy, resistance, and the question of which means are legitimate in the fight against right-wing extremism.
