As the right-wing AfD party prepares to hold its conference in Erfurt, police officials have announced that they expect up to 60,000 protesters to be present in the streets. This gathering not only has political dimensions but could also escalate into a major security crisis.
Worrying Scenarios
Police are deeply concerned about the activities of left-wing extremists that could turn this demonstration into a dangerous scenario. Given the history of clashes at similar gatherings, there are serious security threats this time as well that cannot be ignored.
For this reason, security forces will be fully prepared and have carefully planned to manage this large gathering on-site. With that said, it remains to be seen whether this demonstration can become a turning point in Germany's political history or not.
