Clashes Erupt During Protests Against Far-Right March in Aachen

Protesters significantly outnumbered far-right demonstrators, leading to confrontations with police and disruptions to the march.

A far-right rally in Aachen drew approximately 150 participants, far fewer than the 800 initially expected by organizers.
Counter-protests organized by local groups, parties, and initiatives attracted around 7,700 demonstrators, vastly exceeding expectations.
Clashes occurred as left-wing groups repeatedly blocked the far-right march, with some protesters throwing objects and deploying pyrotechnics at police.
Police responded to the disruptions with force, including the use of batons, and reported four officers sustained minor injuries but remained on duty.
The event concluded with counter-protesters celebrating near the main train station, marking a stark contrast to the far-right's diminished turnout.
