In der Kölner Innenstadt haben am Samstag mehr als 10.000 Menschen „überwiegend friedlich“ gegen den Bundesparteitag der AfD demonstriert. Kölns Polizeipräsident Jürgen Mathies zeigte sich weitgehend zufrieden mit dem Einsatz. Im Vorfeld war mit rund 50.000 Gegendemonstranten gerechnet worden.

Am Mittag hatte die Polizei noch von einer „aggressiven Grundstimmung“ berichtet. Zwei Beamte seien bis zum Mittag bei Zwischenfällen mit Demonstranten verletzt worden, einer von ihnen wurde mit einer Holzlatte geschlagen.

Die Polizei musste zahlreiche AfD-Delegierte, die nicht bereits am Vortag angereist waren, zum Tagungshotel eskortieren. Der Parteitag geht am Sonntag weiter. Linken-Chefin Katja Kipping bezeichnete die Proteste als „vollen Erfolg“. Sie sprach am Samstag von „über 20.000 Menschen“, die „an verschiedenen Protesten teilgenommen“ hätten. (dts)

Protesters demonstrating against the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party march in the city center not far from where the AfD was holding its federal congress on April 22, 2017 in Cologne, Germany. Up to 50,000 people were expected to participate in the protests against the AfD, which is holding its federal congress of delegates following the recent surprise announcement by its chairwoman Frauke Petry that she will not run in German federal elections scheduled for September. The AfD saw a surge in popularity that helped it capture seats in 10 state parliaments, though more recently that party has seen its poll numbers slip. It has also been plagued by infighting between more moderate and radical factions of its leadership.
