German Far-Right AfD Launches Youth Wing, Sparking Protests

Thousands of people demonstrated on Saturday in the central German city of Giessen. They were protesting the launch of a new youth organization by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The event faced delays after some AfD supporters clashed with police. Authorities managed the situation before the political meeting could proceed. The establishment of the youth wing, named "Young Alternative," signals the party's intent to attract younger members. The large protest highlights significant public opposition to the AfD's platform.
