Ines Schwerdtner, leader of the Left Party, defends planned non-violent blockades against the AfD’s party congress this weekend.

Schwerdtner stated that opposing protests against the AfD, labeled as ‘democracy adversaries’, are justified and should remain peaceful.

Authorities anticipate 35,000 to 50,000 counter-demonstrators, with concerns over potential violence from left-wing extremists, while AfD leaders warn of escalating tensions.
