BERLIN—Several thousand demonstrators from across Germany gathered in the capital Sunday for a rally organized by the far-right Alternative for Germany party, with anti-AfD protesters lining the route in central Berlin. Counter-protesters holding a placard reading “Democracy is home” and blowing soap bubbles protest a far-right march in Berlin. The surge in foreigners stoked public concerns that helped the AfD enter the national parliament last year as the main opposition party. The counterdemonstrators booed and whistled at the AfD supporters. Leftist groups have also announced plans to blockade the AfD supporters’ movements.
