## Resource

Thousands flooded German streets this past Saturday to shut down the AfD’s annual congress, abseiling from bridges and blocking roads in a dramatic show of resistance against the far-right party’s rising influence. Organized by “Resistance,” protesters warned of a dangerous slide toward anti-democratic extremism, drawing historical parallels to prevent a repeat of Germany’s dark past. Though mostly peaceful, minor clashes erupted amid heavy police presence, with internal docs hinting at some demonstrators’ readiness for violence. The AfD denies the protests are politically orchestrated, calling them a backlash against democracy itself — while polls show the party poised to win an absolute majority in one state election this fall, fueled by voter discontent rather than outright radicalism.
