Far-right Alternative for Germany party elects leaders as protesters and police clash
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party held a national convention in Erfurt to elect leaders, with protesters clashing with police. The event coincided with the 100-year anniversary of a Nazi Party meeting nearby, drawing criticism over symbolism. AfD aims to extend the terms of leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla and seeks to capitalize on government unpopularity ahead of a state election in Saxony-Anhalt.
