Protests formed in several German cities against the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) which became the first nationalist party to win dozens of seats in parliament since the Second World War. Around a thousand people on Sunday gathered in front of a club where the AfD was celebrating in central Berlin, shouting "Nazis out" and "all of Berlin hates the AfD". One of the demonstrators, a young woman named Sophie, told The Local it was important to show the AfD “what happened in history should never happen again,” despite Germany's democratic values. -Sophie #btw17 #protest #Berlin pic.twitter.com/RAn1um55AS — Shelley Pascual (@shelleypascual) September 24, 201758-year-old Karsten Schiffler was also present at the protest. The AfD began life in 2013 as an anti-euro protest party but then shifted focus to capitalize on misgivings over the record migrant influx in Germany.
