A large protest organized by Antifa activists in Giessen, Germany, delayed the start of a conference for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) youth wing. The protest, drawing 25,000-30,000 participants, prompted the deployment of 6,000 police officers, the largest contingent in Hesse's history. Clashes occurred between protesters and police, with reports of stone-throwing, pepper spray use, and water cannons being deployed to clear blockades. The AfD condemned the demonstrations as undemocratic, while the governor of Hesse criticized the violence and attempts to disrupt the AfD event. The AfD recently secured a significant election result, but remains isolated due to its extremist views.
