The two-day conference started a little over two hours late as many delegates' trips to the venue were slowed by blockades.

The article discusses the escalating political tensions in Germany as the European Parliament elections approach, highlighted by protests at a conference of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Demonstrators gathered in Essen, where the AfD was holding its event, to voice opposition against the party's policies, which many see as xenophobic and nationalist. The AfD has been gaining traction, particularly in eastern Germany, amidst a backdrop of economic concerns and dissatisfaction with the current government's handling of various issues. The protests reflect broader societal divisions, with counter-demonstrations also occurring, showcasing the polarized views on immigration, climate policies, and the EU. The AfD's rise is part of a wider trend of far-right movements gaining ground in Europe, prompting significant public and political debate about the future direction of German and European politics.
