Riesa, Saxony, Germany. 12th January 2019. Approximately 1000 demonstrators gather and march in the Saxony town of Riesa to protest against the right-wing political party AfD holding its national conference at the Sachsen-Arena. Although two arrests were made at the time of writing, the largely peaceful demonstration was interspersed with scuffles with the police and right-wing supporters. Among other issues, the Alternative für Deutschland party will decide on its European election program and complete its candidate list for the European elections. Riesa has many years of experience in dealing with neo-Nazi and right-wing activists. Since 2000, the NPD-Verlag Deutsche Stimme and the state office of the NPD have their headquarters there. Rotherham in the UK is twinned with Riesa.
