(ANSA-AP) - BERLIN - Supporters of the nationalist
Alternative for Germany party gathered on Sunday for a march in
central Berlin against Chancellor Angela Merkel's government,
while opponents were mobilizing for counter-protests.
The march, an unusual move for a German political party, is headlined "Germany's Future." AfD supporters marched from the capital's main station to the landmark Brandenburg Gate. About 2,000 police officers were in place to prevent trouble.
Groups that planned to turn out against AfD include artists and a coalition of Berlin music clubs hoping to "blow away" the party with loud techno beats.
