Activists Trick AfD Political Party Into Forfeiting Election Flyers

BERLIN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 30: A visitor trods in a garbage container filled with election flyers and posters of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party as his mother (R) looks on on September 30, 2021 in Berlin, Germany. An artists and political activists group called the Center for Political Beauty (Zentrum für politische Schönheit) deceived the AfD into giving them tens of thousands of flyers ahead of Germany's recent parliamentary elections, ostensibly to distribute the flyers. Instead the artists kept them and today held a small event to allow members of the public to toss the flyers into the containers. The AfD has said they will take the group to court.
