Clashes Erupt as Far-Right AfD Holds National Convention in Germany Tensions ran high in Germany as police and protesters clashed outside the national convention of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The event, which took place in the eastern city of Magdeburg, was attended by thousands of supporters and opponents of the party, which has been a thorn in the side of Germany's mainstream politicians. As protesters gathered to express their opposition to the AfD's hardline stance on immigration and other issues, police moved in to maintain order, resulting in scuffles and arrests. The convention marks a significant moment for the AfD, which has been gaining momentum in recent years and is now the third-largest party in the German parliament.
