AfD demonstration on German Unity Day in Fürstenwalde with Björn Höcke and protests

On German Unity Day, AfD supporters demonstrated in Fürstenwalde against the federal government, led by Björn Höcke. Participants shouted “Merz has to go” and waved German flags. There were counter-protests with posters like 'Björn is a Nazi'. Police estimated 1,500 participants at the AfD event, while the state party said 3,500. Two YouTubers were physically attacked after filming people. Höcke spoke of a 'turning mood' after the East German elections and criticized Merz's policies.
