Politico Europe reports:
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in the East German town of Riesa on Saturday in a bid to blockade the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party congress.
Protesters chanting “no to Nazis” blocked roads in the town, preventing many of the party’s 600 delegates from reaching the convention venue and ultimately delaying the kick-off of the proceedings. Police estimate some 10,000 demonstrators will be in Riesa over the course of the weekend.
Delegates attending the two-day summit are expected to formally nominate party co-leader Alice Weidel as their candidate for chancellor in the snap federal elections scheduled for Feb. 23.

Current status in Riesa: The venue of #AfD convention is still empty. The blockades are successful. Protests are going on.
