Germany: Protesters hold rally in Frankfurt after AfD’s advance in Hesse

Protesters gathered in Frankfurt, on Sunday evening, to demonstrate against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

The protest march comes as the polls closed for Hessen’s state elections. The AfD managed to exceed the five percent hurdle to claim seats in the Hessen state parliament.

Following this election, the AfD are represented in all 16 of Germany’s state parliaments.
