⌨The newspapers focus heavily on AfD developments, with Weidel being nominated as chancellor candidate while embracing radical positions (FAZ, Stuttgarter Zeitung). Her recent statements about Hitler's social policies draw legal challenges, with left-wing politicians filing incitement charges (FR, Stuttgarter Zeitung). Counter-protests to AfD's federal congress in Riesa gathered 15,000 people, with reports of police violence against demonstrators (Neues Deutschland).
