German minister angry about violence by ‘left-wing chaos’ at a meeting of far-right AfD youth

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has condemned groups of demonstrators in the city of Gießen for the violence they commit. “I have great respect for the police who are again confronted with disguised, chaotic people, people with torches or pyrotechnic flares attacking officers.” Chancellor Friedrich Merz also expressed irritation at a meeting of his CDU about the disturbances by extremes from the left and right.
