The far-right AfD party has started its European election campaign.
00:04
The campaign kicked off in high spirits, despite the fact that the party's main candidate,
00:09
Maximilian Kahr, missed the event amid his employee being arrested on charges of espionage
00:14
for China.
00:15
The party's leadership used the occasion to blame opponents in building obstacles and
00:19
using a democratic means to try to destroy the AfD.
00:23
"It is really adventurous how our party is supposed to be destroyed, how our party is
00:30
supposed to be damaged, how we are supposed to create unrest and distrust.
00:36
I think we have to resist this.
00:39
We will resist this.
00:40
We will continue to act with a cool head.
00:42
In the end, we will emerge stronger from this story and we will win the election."
00:49
As the event took place, anti-right protests erupted in the city, featuring mottos such
00:54
as "Real Women Hate the AfD."
00:56
