GERMANY BOILS! Rioters Clash With Police as Far-Right AfD Summit Sparks Fury Amid Nazi Anniversary

Chaos erupted on the streets of Erfurt as over 15,000 anti-fascist demonstrators clashed with German riot police in an attempt to completely derail the national convention of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Activists from the "Widersetzen" alliance staged mass sit-ins, forcing authorities to shut down the A71 motorway, while police utilized aggressive pushback tactics to clear access for party delegates. Inside the venue, co-leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla projected total unity for what Weidel termed a "year of destiny," even as opponents blasted the convention for directly coinciding with the 100th anniversary of a local historic Nazi assembly that helped consolidate Adolf Hitler's power. #breakingnews #geopolitics #germany #erfurt #afd #antifa #protest #politicalcrisis #europeannews #civilunrest Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
