> Around 150,000 people demonstrated in about 20 German cities on Saturday against the far-right Alternative for Germany, following its decisive victory in last week’s state election. The AfD led the vote in eastern Saxony-Anhalt and is seeking to form Germany’s first far-right state government since World War II.
