STREET FIGHT: German Police Repel Mob Targeting AfD Youth Conference as 25,000–30,000 Protesters Surge Into the Streets

Berlin, Germany — Tensions exploded in the streets of Berlin on Saturday as German police were forced to repel a violent mob attempting to disrupt a conference held by the AfD youth organization. What began as a large demonstration quickly escalated into a full-scale street fight, with between 25,000 and 30,000 protesters flooding the area — including organized Antifa agitators.

Mob Attempts to Breach AfD Youth Event

The AfD Jugend conference took place under heavy security amid rising political friction across Europe. Demonstrators soon attempted to storm police barricades, hurling objects and pushing through security lines in an effort to reach the event venue.

One on-scene police officer described the chaos:

“This was not a peaceful demonstration. It was a coordinated attempt to attack the conference.”

Witnesses reported masked groups waving Antifa flags moving in clusters, aggressively trying to approach the building.

Police Push Back as Clashes Erupt

Berlin police deployed riot units, shields, and water cannons to push back the advancing crowd. Several streets were locked down, and parts of the city center came to a standstill for hours.

Multiple physical confrontations erupted as protesters attempted to tear down barricades. Footage circulating on social media shows officers restraining aggressive demonstrators while crowds shouted anti-AfD slogans.

Police confirmed several arrests for assaulting officers and disturbing public order.

Antifa Presence Sparks Political Firestorm

The strong presence of Antifa groups has intensified political debate across Germany. Supporters of the protest framed the demonstration as a stand against far-right extremism, while conservative politicians accused Antifa of instigating violence and attacking democratic processes.

A political analyst in Frankfurt noted:

“This is a clear sign of Germany’s deepening polarization. As AfD gains support, left-wing resistance is becoming increasingly confrontational.”

AfD Youth Conference Proceeds Under Heavy Guard

Despite the chaos outside, the AfD Jugend conference continued under tight police protection. AfD officials accused opponents of attempting to “silence democracy,” while demonstrators insisted they were “blocking extremism.”

Saturday’s confrontation marks one of the largest anti-AfD demonstrations of the year, signaling an escalation in Germany’s political tensions — with more clashes likely as the nation approaches key elections and growing ideological divisions.
