The German city of Giessen descended into chaos this Saturday as thousands of left-globalist extremists resorted to violence against police cordons in an attempt to prevent the conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) from launching its new youth organization.
From early morning, extremist groups—black-clad and often masked up—poured into the city with the explicit aim of preventing AfD delegates from reaching the venue. One coalition calling itself “Resist” bragged online that it had blocked access roads and mobilized tens of thousands.

Police had anticipated trouble, registering 23 separate demonstrations and warning that as many as 50,000 extremists might swarm the city of just 90,000—an unprecedented mobilization designed to silence a democratic party, and the most popular party in the country.
Clashes between the security forces and agents of chaos erupted soon after dawn. Officers reported that a large crowd tried to breach a security barrier near a substation, injuring at least one officer. Other groups vandalized cars, smashed streetlights, and hurled objects at police.

Around 6,000 officers were deployed from Hesse and neighboring states, turning Giessen into a fortress as emergency calls poured in reporting further attacks on police, property, and even journalists.

Inside the convention hall, AfD delegates—many of them young activists—waited for hours as the founding congress of the new youth wing, Generation Deutschland, remained in limbo because so many attendees were physically blocked from entering.
Merchandise stalls and informational booths stood ready, but the official session couldn’t begin. By late morning, the party confirmed that the proceedings were still delayed solely due to the anti-German, left-globalist extremist blockade tactics.
When delegates finally began arriving in larger numbers, the mood inside the hall was defiant. Many attendees argued that the violence showed exactly why a new, unapologetically patriotic youth movement was needed more than ever.
Electrical worker Kevin Potthast told reporters he came because “the country is in bad shape and young people have to help fix it,” reflecting widespread frustration with Germany’s political direction.
Outside, extremists claimed they were standing up for “diversity,” even as they engaged in tactics aimed at suppressing political pluralism and preventing a lawful assembly from taking place.

AfD leaders were quick to condemn the unrest. Party co-chair Alice Weidel blasted the establishment press for downplaying left-wing extremism and said regime journalists working for the mainstream press helped create the climate that emboldens violent radicals.
She compared the scenes in Giessen to the intimidation tactics used in authoritarian regimes—a comparison many attendees felt was entirely justified given the attempted siege of a lawful political meeting.
Surprisingly, local MP Johannes Volkmann of the establishment, right-globalist Christian Democratic Union (CDU) broke ranks with his party’s leadership and denounced the mobs, warning that “far-left extremists are taking the law into their own hands” and calling for stronger action against militant groups.
Meanwhile, establishment politicians in Berlin tried to frame the situation as merely “clashes between extremes,” sidestepping the uncomfortable fact that only one side was attempting to shut down democratic participation.
By the afternoon, police had to deploy water cannons, pepper spray, and batons to keep routes open — even as publicly funded broadcasters bizarrely continued to label the protests “mostly peaceful.”
Despite the chaos, the AfD succeeded in moving forward with establishing Generation Deutschland, intended to replace the now-dissolved Junge Alternative and offer a home for young voters tired of Germany’s political drift.
Leading the new youth organization will be Jean-Pascal Hohm, 28, an AfD representative from eastern Germany, who won the vote by a massive margin.
Hohm pledged to fight for “a true overhaul of migration policy so Germany stays the homeland of Germans.”
The events in Giessen underscore a widening divide in German society: while the AfD grows as a legitimate mass movement, far-left groups—often tacitly protected by the political establishment—are increasingly resorting to force to stop it.
What was meant to be a celebratory founding congress ended up revealing something far more significant: the German left’s escalating fear of a rising generation that refuses to bow to its ideology.
