Thousands protest in Germany against AfD youth wing's founding meeting - DW News
Here in Germany, thousands of demonstrators have gathered in the western city of Giessen to protest against the founding meeting of the far-right Alternative for Germany's new youth wing. 6-thousand police are standing by. Generation Deutschland, as the new group is expected to be called, replaces the AfD's previous association, which was confirmed by the courts as right wing extremist. The changes aim to allow the AfD to exert more control over it's youth movement.
