I'm altering the phrasing here: "The reference is to Saxony-Anhalt." - Gathering of the AfD Party in Magdeburg Experiences Counter-Protests
At the AfD state party conference held in Magdeburg on a Saturday, as per police records, over a hundred individuals protested against the right-wing populists. Their signs carried messages like, "No collaboration with the radical right."
The conference attracted numerous party members to the state capital, with a few delayed arrivals due to the protests. The AfD is looking to select a fresh state executive board. Bundestag member Martin Reichardt is vying to stay as the state chairman. Other candidates for the same position include Oliver Kirchner, Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, and Jan Wenzel Schmidt, who serves as the General Secretary, all seeking re-election.
The conference's lively atmosphere was momentarily disrupted by the protestors outside, voicing their opposition to the party's ideologies at the Party event. Despite the protests, many party members still enthusiastically attended the Party gathering.
