German police 'cleared path for fascists with batons,' protesters say
30.11.2025
Police in Germany were accused of excessive use of force by protesters after riot police charged and used batons on a group of anti-fascist demonstrators over the weekend. The protest alliance Widersetzen, demonstrating against the founding of a youth organization tied to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, accused police of brutality against protesters in the western German city of Giessen.
