Mass protests target far-right AfD across Germany
Tens of thousands marched in about 20 German cities against the far-right Alternative for Germany after it won a state election in Saxony-Anhalt. Reports put nationwide participation at roughly 150,000 and said demonstrators demanded that the party be banned. The available RSS summaries do not report major violence or a formal government response.
Why it matters
The demonstrations reveal the depth of opposition as the AfD tries to turn state-level strength into broader power.
