Now but just now there were 5600 protesters here some of the protesters i talked to they were over 60 years ago and they told me they were here today because they think this is the only thing they could do and they wanted to think that young the young generation for sacrificing their time for the freedom of the society their yesterday police lifted their siege of the Polytechnic University how significant is this move.

Cruise Opposition Leader mori has walked free off to more than a year in prison shes been held in pretrial detention pending an investigation into alleged Money Laundering the countrys highest Court Ordered her release on monday but the Corruption Case against her can still go ahead. Well germanys far right populist a. F. D. Party has been moving ever further to the right since it was founded 6 years ago it is now the Largest Opposition Party in parliament and it is about to elect a new Leadership Today at a conference. Its set to be a stormy event with demonstrations outside and conflicts inside the venue is different factions within the party jostle for dominance the very far right is pitted against the somewhat less far right. Right founded at the height of the euro crisis the alternative for Germany Party or a. F. D. Has come a long way since 2013 shifting ever further to the right after failing to enter German Parliament in 2013 it seems support for the once euro skeptic a f d was waning until 2015 when german chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed more than 1000000 migrants to germany. Weve done so much we can do this suddenly the a. F. D. Had a new target migrants particularly muslim migrants. Soon members of the a. F. P. Were walking alongside the islamophobia commitment paquita and the parties and the migrant stems became the main issue. New germans we make them ourselves burkas we prefer the kenyans these were just some of the f. T. Slogans in the run up to the 27000 federal election their rhetoric hit a nerve and the party sailed into the blondest talk with almost 13 percent. Even while their friends the this is a great day in our partys history we get it were in the German Parliament and were going to change this country. As the biggest Opposition Party the f. T. Immediately began ruffling feathers in the bundestag means our rule book us book has it had cover girls and men with nice living off benefits and other good for nothing are we not secure our prosperity economy grows and in particular the welfare state. All the while reports of far right extremist links among prominent f. T. Figures have continued to grow as has the voice of the partys nationalist faction the flu go beyond her career has repeatedly. Made headlines with nazi era vocabulary and his comments about berlins memorial to the murdered jews of europe you go all over we germans our peoples minds and all the only people in the world that would plans a memorial of shame in the heart of our capital city. Now you could run for the a. F. D. Party leadership but regardless of whos elected as a dog this weekend the party looks set to continue moving further right the question then is how far. Will our correspondent michelle in braunschweig where the a. F. D. Process is about to take place we hear the protests expected all weekend i can see that you are in the midst of a crowd there so what is happening so far. Yes we already saw demonstrations in braunschweig yesterday evening now a couple of 100 people behind me it gathered outside the home where the f. T. C. To meet basically the idea was to prevent delegates from coming in but police cordoned off the area quite a stretch of around the old song hall and the hall itself was actually covered up its own name this is how unpopular this gathering is here in our own strike so were just heading into what could be a tumultuous day. Carol talking about the Actual Congress itself of course Party Conferences as you know all about working out where they stand in times in terms of politics could we see a shift at all this weekend. For the f. D. A. Says no if you talk to alexander gollancz the leader who wants to step down one thing is just so we saw in that report and you also features large in the protests here is according to court order can be called a fascist now hes not expected to go on for the Party Leadership but what is unclear is who will eventually. He gets to be the new coleader of the a. F. D. Party and the future which is seen as the hot cool rightwing of the party led by the unhealthy himself has clearly gained more interest its been void by Regional Election results in the east and Eastern States here in germany and the big question is will the a. F. D. Party draw a red line at some stage or will it remain open to the extreme right in germany im talking about that when michele how strong is that more radical wing of the party. Well it depends on who you are we all xander got all of the still leader of the a. S. D. I put the new leader of the wing at the very heart of the party at the center he says that doesnt mean the political position it just means theyre an intake will part but even that means that there is not expected to be a real attempt to exclude them this also has a verse to the a. S. D. Itself because that wing is very unpopular particularly in western regions of germany and the big question is whether the if you will be able to marry these 2 extremes within the f. T. Which is seen rightly so as far right here in germany and putting it all into perspective for us our chief political editor. At the f. T. Party Congress Thanks so much.
