WORLD WORLDWIDE GERMANY - news journal UPDATE. - (en) Germamy, Die Platform: Report: Protests against AfD party conference in Essen (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 On Saturday, June 29, tens of thousands of people protested against the

AfD federal party conference in the Ruhr area city of Essen. ---- The
resistance to the major meeting of the extreme right-wing party began in
the early hours of the morning when a large number of anti-fascists from
all over Germany tried to prevent the party conference from taking place
by blocking hotels and access roads. Even if this did not succeed,
various AfD politicians were noticeably disrupted on their journey and
were only able to reach the Grugahalle under the protection of the
thousands of police officers who had been brought in.

Overall, the police's actions that day were characterized by a brutal
crackdown on the offensive anti-fascist protest. We send our best wishes
for a speedy recovery to all those injured and demand the immediate
release of all prisoners!

Comrades from the platform took part in the blockades and blockade
attempts in the morning. In the morning, platform members from various
local groups, supporters and other anarchists gathered to form an
anarchist block at the large demonstration at the Grugahalle. With front
banners and high banners, flags, drums and loud slogans, we made it
clear: The fight against the extreme right is more urgent than ever. But
to wage it successfully, we cannot rely on the lies of the bourgeois
parties, who themselves are carrying out mass deportations, rearmament
and social cuts. Instead, we need an independent anti-fascist movement
that opposes the extreme right in companies, neighborhoods, schools and
universities. We will continue to fight to build this movement in our
respective cities in the coming months and years.

Down with the right and the system that makes them strong! For an
anti-fascist mass movement!
