In Regensburg fand auf Schloss Pürkelgut das AfueraFest statt, „das Sommerfest der konsequent freiheitlichen Partei DIE LIBERTÄREN”.
Ein Vor-Ort-Bericht dazu erschien hier bei der lokalen antifaschistischen Gruppe in Regensburg, anita f. .
Redner*innen waren unter anderem Florian Handwerker (Vorsitzender der Partei „Die Libertären”), Rainer Zitelmann, Philipp Bagus, Iván Dubois, Thorsten Polleit (Präsident Ludwig von Mises Institut Deutschland), Antony P. Mueller (Ökonom), Joana Cotar, Frauke Petry, Markus Krall, Carlos Gebauer, Christian Bubeck, Ulrich Vosgerau, Peter Boehringer, Titus Gebel (Free Cities Foundation). Mit Infoständen war u.a. das Bündnis Deutschland und AfD-MEP Petr Bystron vertreten, der sein Buch ‘Make Europe Great Again’ bewarb.
Obwohl das Fest in Deutschland selbst auf lokaler Ebene kein großes Echo fand, berichtete die argentinische Presse von dem „libertären Woodstock“, zu dem Lilia Lemoine (Kongress-Abgeordnete der La Libertad Avanza) und Iván Dubois (Mercosur-Abgeordneter und Präsident der International Alliance of Libertarian Parties) angereist waren. „Die Abgeordnete Lilia Lemoine gab von der Bühne aus den europäischen Ländern Ratschläge zur Beendigung der ‚sozialistischen Politik’“. Die Veranstaltung könne als „Punktgewinn des [argentinischen] Präsidenten gewertet werden in seiner Besessenheit, zu einer globalen Figur zu werden“, so Giselle Leclercq in Perfil.
Laut Beobachter*innen blieb die Zahl der Teilnehmenden mit wenigen Hundert Personen weit unter den Erwartungen der Veranstalter zurück. Nach dem Event wurde auch um Spenden geworben. Antifaschistische Aufklärung vor Beginn des Festes hatte dazu geführt, dass eine Band und ein Getränkelieferant absagten.
