Hundreds of left-wing demonstrators have tried to block people entering a far-right party conference in the German city of Stuttgart.
The Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) party is expected to re-brand itself as openly anti-Islamic during the meeting.
Police, who surrounded several hundred protesters, fired pepper spray at crowds. Close to 1,000 officers were deployed.
The AfD wants to ban the burqa and outlaw minarets in Germany.
Despite the protest, the conference began as planned on Saturday morning.
