Protests are underway in the eastern German city of Magdeburg, where the far-right AfD party has been gathering to discuss its strategy.

The AfD is strongest in this part of Germany. But protesters here are against a party they see as a threat to German democracy

Germany’s far-right AfD party is now the second-strongest force in nationwide polls, ahead of all government parties

At its congress, it’s trying to capitalize on its success and discuss how it could become a party of government and not just of opposition

Una semana después de su primer triunfo distrital, el AfD dio un nuevo paso en su avance electoral al conseguir su primer alcalde electo.

La elección se da en un contexto de aumento en los sondeos de este partido conocido por posturas antiinmigración, euroescépticas y prorrusas

The world's oldest newspaper, first published in 1703, has been printed for the last time.

The paper reported on everything from a young Mozart to the effective abdication of the last Habsburg emperor.

This is its final front page ⬇️

Por primera vez, el partido de ultraderecha AfD ganó una elección en Alemania, rompiendo un tabú y generando un fuerte debate.

¿Por qué logró esa victoria?
¿Qué significa para Alemania?

Analizo en FRANCE 24 Español, con las opiniones de Cristóbal Rovira.

A pleasure to be part of this podcast which analyses the impact of populism in Europe and Latin America.

It’s part of a research project which will also publish a book this year including my analysis from Germany.

A really great experience today at the Global Media Forum moderating this panel on regulation in the digital world.

How should digital platforms be regulated? What risks are there? What is the ideal digital environment and how can that environment guarantee human rights?
