Thousands of leftist protesters clash with thousands of police in a massive action to defend "Our Democracy" against a few hundred AfD members

[Germany] The founding congress of the new AfD youth division, Generation Deutschland, drew thousands of Antifa rioters and other leftist protesters to Gießen.

Leftists flood the streets of Gießen Saturday in yet another anti-AfD protest.

Saturday saw one of the larger police actions in the history of the Federal Republic, as 5,000 officers deployed against a leftist mob numbering 25,000 or more. The Antifa network Aktionsbündnis Widersetzen (“Action Alliance Resist”), Social Democrat-aligned labour unions like DGB and Verdi and an array of “civil society organisations” took to the streets of Gießen to protest the founding congress of the new Alternative für Deutschland youth wing, “Generation Deutschland” (GD).

The GD congress itself counted only 840 attendees. Without the protesters and the media coverage, it might’ve escaped mainstream notice entirely. Aside from aspiring GD members, some AfD leadership also attended, including party co-chairs Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla. To defend Our Democracy against this dangerous assault, the well-funded Aktionsbündnis Widersetzen directed 200 buses full of protesters from across Germany to Hessen. Many rioters on these buses immediately established illegal street blockades at the major entry points to Gießen in the hopes of stopping attendees on their way to the venue.

These blockades were in force well before sunrise: [video at source]

In addition to obstructing major roads and highways, the protesters also blocked all three Gießen bridges across the Lahn River to the venue: [video at source]

At impromptu checkpoints, rioters demanded credentials of all who approached them, allowing only fellow travellers to pass.

At several points, Antifa protesters tried to break through the police lines defending the congress venue, leading to scenes like this one

Rainbow Mercenaries itching for a civil war, of which they have no idea themselves. They are just on a per-diem pay scale with Soros and NGO-NFP's footing the bills.

Home grown childless idiots seeking validation for something, anything in their lives.

The "radical" Left in Germany is viciously anti-democratic, and uses violence as did the fascists and Communists used to do through the last century. Today's costuming of them as "anti-fascist" is no real change from the 1930's forward.

But it fears the Alternative für Deutschland rising through the democratic process of elections. That same fear is seen by the German socialists ( SPD ), the Greens and still=approved Marxistisch-Leninistische Partei Deutschlands. Germany is trapped in the game of defining a "right wing" by the hardened Left wing.

Sounds like either a REdGuards or BrownShirts riot by the commie trash.

Y’all know where both of those went — millions dead.

Germany is a weird place. I’ve been there a couple of times when my BIL was with the state Dept in Frankfurt. Talk about repressed anger in a population. They don’t talk, they don’t smile, they don’t interact like Americans do.

Anytime to you see the words “our Democracy” you are seeing socialism/communism in poor disguise.

Antifa in USA is nothing!
The German antifa (which the US one follows) is a lot more powerful, organized, and violent.
I was once invited to a conference of climate realists in Germany.
Antifa totally destroyed their previous conference, which eventually happened in some airport hangar under protection of hundreds of policemen.
So the instruction to attend the next one was, no kidding: “Sign up, come to this town, check in a hotel of your choice and wait. At last second, we will send you a message, where and when the conference will take place!”
We guarantee you, it will happen sometime between these dates!
Can you believe?

“who coordinated the busses?”

“Protests like these are largely financed by the German state itself, and thus by the German taxpayer. Our money is dispensed by the billions towards a vast, state-adjacent NGO network, tasked with defending Our Democracy. It flows from there into a variety of murky Antifa-adjacent organisations and other activist groups, none of whom have any kind of coherent message or decipherable political philosophy beyond sophomoric slogans like “Nazis raus” and “Fuck the AfD.” And while we pay violent thugs to riot against an imaginary fascism, we also pay thousands of police to manage the worst of their violence and also to serve as the proximate targets of their political rage. We literally fund all aspects of this whole insane spectacle. None of this would happen otherwise.”

Germany’s Parliamentarian form of governing is just barely to the right of Marxism.

The Marseilles Pact is still in the front of their mind.
They will never let it go.

thousands of Antifa rioters

In another context, for proper understanding one must replace "trans" with "fake".

In this context, replace "antifa" with "communist".

Talk about repressed anger in a population.

For the past several generations, they've been told that they're inherently evil because of Mustache Man I and Mustache Man II. It's sort of like how White Men in America have been told for a few generations that we're inherently evil because we didn't end slavery immediately on forming the United States.

Looks like these folks are so stupid they don’t realize the real enemy knocking at their door is Islam.
