Major protests unfolded in cities like Berlin and Cologne, where citizens displayed banners and chanted anti-fascist slogans. Concurrently, the AfD attracted 4,500 supporters in Halle for its campaign launch, amid a backdrop of increased tensions surrounding immigration following a tragic knife attack linked to an Afghan man. Despite protests, polls show the AfD in second place, stirring national concern.
