Protests Erupt as Berlin AfD Holds Candidate Selection in Jüterbog

Hundreds gather to oppose the AfD's assembly, highlighting regional tensions over far-right politics.

The Berlin AfD is hosting a party meeting in Jüterbog to select candidates for the 2025 Bundestag election.
Due to lack of venue availability in Berlin, the AfD convened in Jüterbog, a location previously used by the Brandenburg AfD.
Protests against the meeting were organized by a coalition of citizens' initiatives, unions, and political youth groups, drawing 500 to 600 participants.
Demonstrators voiced their opposition with slogans and banners condemning right-wing extremism and promoting diversity.
Beatrix von Storch is expected to be the lead candidate for the Berlin AfD, with Gottfried Curio likely in the second position.
