Around 150,000 people protested in about twenty German cities on Saturday against the far-right AfD party following its recent electoral victory in an eastern region. Demonstrators rallied in Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich, displaying signs like "Ban the AfD now." The protests were organized by Prüf, a campaign advocating for the party's prohibition, following the AfD's near 44% vote share in Saxony-Anhalt. The AfD's rise has sparked concern due to Germany's Nazi past, with calls growing for a ban. However, opinions differ on pursuing such a procedure, as the party seeks to form its first far-right regional government since World War II.
