Overview

  • Vandals sprayed anti-AfD slogans on windows and doors of the Bürgerhaus in Henstedt-Ulzburg and earlier attempted to disable its toilets by pouring in dry concrete, police confirmed.
  • Police deployed additional units from Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg after eight demonstrations drew several hundred protesters to the congress site.
  • Kurt Kleinschmidt said the Schleswig-Holstein branch would reach out to the CDU for coalition talks if it secures double-digit support in the 2027 state election, but refused cooperation with Daniel Günther or a CDU–Green alliance.
  • Delegates adopted a resolution demanding a deep reform and depoliticization of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which had recently categorized AfD as a right-wing extremist group.
  • In Hannover, around 900 people held a peaceful rally against the AfD’s ‘Kinderschutzkongress’, denouncing its stance on ‘gender propaganda’, ‘early sexualization’ and calls by Beatrix von Storch to remove rainbow flags from public institutions.
