Police injured and car set alight in protests against nationalist AfD party conference in Cologne

‘Two police officers were injured and a car was set ablaze when violent protests broke out in Cologne, where the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party (AfD) is holding a convention.
Up to 15,000 demonstrators and hard-left activists gathered in the city, with around 4,000 officers, many clad in riot gear or on horseback, deployed to prevent the escalation of anti-populist rallies.

Some 600 AfD delegates are meeting to discuss policy for September’s national elections, but could only enter the convention centre under heavy police protection as protesters tried to keep them out.’
