Düsseldorf is the destination. - Approximately 750 individuals demonstrate against a AFD gathering.
Stefan Brandner, Martin Vincentz, Hans Neuhoff, and René Aust were set to appear at a rally. A representative from the Dusseldorf police mentioned that about 100 people followed the AfD event, while 200 individuals had registered.
Approximately an hour prior to the gathering, people convened near Hofgarten for a protest against the event. The "Dusseldorf Stands in the Way" coalition had orchestrated the counter-protest. A different demonstration with the moniker "For a Solidary Dusseldorf Without Right-Wing Populists" was called off, asserted the police spokesperson. The attendees waved various signage, displaying messages like "In the Name of Love for Our Community: No to AfD," "Once Again," or "Anyone Who Votes for AfD Votes for Nazis."
Thus far, the proceedings have been calm, the police spokesperson stated on Thursday night.
