Sjezd pravicové AfD provázejí bouře. Ulice Erfurtu obsadily tisíce odpůrců
The article discusses the recent congress of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Erfurt, Germany, which took place amid large-scale protests against the party. AfD is currently the largest opposition party in the German Bundestag, having received 20.8% of votes in last year’s early parliamentary elections, with current polls suggesting they could win upcoming elections. The party has been labeled as right-wing extremist by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), but this designation was overturned by a court ruling. A new leadership was confirmed at the congress, with Christian von zur Mühlen re-elected as chairman and Tanja Weidel as his deputy. Both leaders emphasized their goal of gaining power through political means. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters gathered in Erfurt, with police estimating up to 50,000 demonstrators, though some reports noted lower numbers. Protests were organized by unions, activist groups, and politicians, with some roadblocks causing temporary traffic disruptions. The article notes that while previous AfD congresses faced significant disruption, this time the protests did not manage to delay the event.

The event was marked by large demonstrations, with around 31,000 protesters attempting to block access to the venue. Police reported tensions, with some roadblocks causing temporary disruptions, including the partial closure of highway A71.
