... rally in Hanover against anti-Islam AfD party
The three-year-old Alternative for Germany, or AfD, won 21 to 22 percent of votes in the election for the state legislature in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, according to projections for ARD and ZDF television based on exit polls and partial counting.

As AfD moved to the right so did he, making a number of remarks condemned as racist.
The AfD ran a politically savvy campaign. It tapped into historical grievances in former communist eastern Germany, by co-opting phrases from the dissident movement that brought down the Berlin Wall 30 years ago.

Nowadays, the AfD is mainly known for its anti-immigration (namely, anti-Islamic)
