The German Police Union warns of potential violence at the upcoming AfD party congress in Erfurt, urging immediate legal action against offenders.

DPolG President Heiko Teggatz expressed concerns over planned attacks by left-wing activists, advocating for the deployment of judges and prosecutors during the event on July 4-5.

Authorities anticipate 35,000 to 50,000 counter-demonstrators, including up to 2,500 violent extremists, with calls for blockades against the AfD, which some view as a legitimate form of protest.
