The broadcast covers protests outside the AfD's national convention in Erfurt on the day of the event.

The segment highlights the convention's timing with a Nazi Party anniversary and looks ahead to regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt this fall where the AfD aims to lead a state government for the first time.
