AfD party conference again in Brandenburg: Protests in Jüterbog announced!

Jüterbog, Deutschland - The Berlin AfD is again moving its party congress to Brandenburg and thus confirms a decision that was previously discussed in the media. The party congress will take place on April 6th in Jüterbog, a place in the Teltow-Fläming district. One party spokesman officially announced the information that was first reported by the "Tagesspiegel". The reason for the relocation is the lack of suitable premises in Berlin, which the AfD has already forced to take similar measures in the past. A party congress in Jüterbog took place in October 2024 to choose candidates for the Bundestag election. Even four years ago, a party congress in couples in Glien, in the Havelland, was held.

In the run -up to the coming party congress, the regular new election of the board is pending. Party leader Kristin Brinker, who has acted as a state chair of the AfD in Berlin and as a parliamentary group leader in the House of Representatives since 2021. The AfD faces a broad protest, since an Antifa group is already calling for counter events. Last year, several hundred people demonstrated against the AfD in Jüterbog.

protests and resistance

The atmosphere around the AfD's party conferences remains tense. At a recently held Federal Party Congress in Riesa, Saxony, there were considerable protests that started with a delay of two hours. The AfD classified the protection of the constitution in several federal states as a right -wing extremist and at the federal level as a suspected case. This assessment has led to a remarkable resistance to the party. Only a small part of the delegates reached the event hall in good time, which many were described as "arduous".

The protests against the AfD have achieved an order of magnitude that can hardly be ignored. Civil society organizations and unions were responsible for mobilization, with the police being present with a large contingent, including water cannons. The protest in Riesa was referred to as the "greatest demonstration that Riesa has ever seen", with estimates of around 10,000 participants, the slogans like "We are more" and banners with inscriptions such as "No Bock on Nazis".

goals and political orientation

The AfD has ambitious goals. With the nomination of party leader Alice Weidel as a candidate for chancellor, a new step in the history of the party is taken. This nomination could influence the political landscape in Germany, while the AfD claims to assume government responsibility. In this context, the topics and priorities of other parties are clearly shown. While the SPD also wants to invest in business and infrastructure and promote social justice, the CDU is planning measures for internal security and a harder migration policy. Merz, the chairman of the CDU, decidedly excludes cooperation with the AfD.
