Thousands Rally Against AfD After Far Right Victory in Germany Regional elections in Thuringia earlier this month saw the far right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party secure a historic victory, prompting thousands to take to the streets across Germany in protest against what many see as a neo Nazi force.
The protests were widespread and intense, echoing the dark days of post war Germany when the country struggled to come to terms with its past.
The AfD has been on the rise for several years, but its latest victory marks a turning point in German politics.
