In Erfurt zeigt sich eine Demokratie, die ihre eigene Aushöhlung nicht einfach hinnimmt. Das ist kein Ausnahmezustand, sondern Ausdruck demokratischer Selbstverteidigung & antifaschistischer Solidarität mit denen, gegen die s. autoritäre Angriffe als Erstes richten

Wer Rechtsextreme sich organisieren lässt, hat bald keine Demokratie mehr.

(S+) Meinung: Anti-AfD-Proteste: Wer Parteitage blockiert, schädigt die Demokratie

Ein breites Bündnis will verhindern, dass die rechtsextreme AfD ihren Parteitag in Erfurt abhalten kann. Das ist falsch.

Interesting background article to the upcoming AfD party meeting in Erfurt (in German).

AfD vor dem Parteitag in Erfurt: Wer hat in der Partei eigentlich das Sagen?

Jörg Meuthen, Frauke Petry oder Bernd Lucke – allein die Liste von Ex-Parteichefs zeigt: Machtverhältnisse können sich in der AfD schnell ändern. Wer hat aktuell gerade das Sagen in der AfD? Und vor a...

Man kann es auch so sehen: Die antifaschistischen Proteste und Blockaden in Erfurt waren gestern so stark, dass die Polizei die Delegierten der rechtsextremen AfD in einer für sie demütigenden Aktion mitten in der Nacht schon auf das Gelände bringen musste.

#AfD-Parteitag in #Erfurt:
„Mit dem Datum und der Ortswahl sendet die AfD-Spitze ein deutliches Signal an ihr ‚patriotisches Vorfeld’, wie Höcke und Co. die Mischszene aus neuen Rechten und expliziten Neonazis nennen, auf deren Unterstützung sie setzen.“
