Berlin police shut down protest against virus restrictions​

By FRANK JORDANS

BERLIN (AP) — Berlin police ordered a protest by people opposed to Germany’s pandemic restrictions to disband Saturday after participants refused to observe social distancing rules.

Tens of thousands of people had gathered at the German capital’s iconic Brandenburg Gate in the morning before streaming down the Unter den Linden boulevard in a show of defiance against Germany’s coronavirus prevention measures.

Protesters carried a wide range of grievances and banners proclaiming their opposition to vaccinations, face masks and the German government in general. Some waved American, Russian or German Reich flags, while others had T-shirts promoting the “QAnon” conspiracy theory. Several wore clothing with white nationalist slogans and neo-Nazi insignia, but most participants denied having far-right views.

Huge protests in Germany, more coverage at the BBC.

I totally respect their right to demonstrate but I don’t really get their point of view. Germany has combated the virus fairly well.

Some see the anti-coronavirus measures as too limiting, limiting their freedom. Apparently the measures do hurt the economy.
