A Nazi salute. Ingenious!
In Berlin, too. I bet that one has never been tried before.
Anti-Musk protester temporarily arrested in Berlin for poster with Nazi salute – Authorities temporarily arrested a protester for displaying a poster that featured Elon Musk performing a Hitler salute alongside Nazi figures.
Is that a lot?
Doesn’t that reflect German majority opinion? Well… No, it doesn’t. Not when the polls all indicate the opposite.
At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against far-right AfD ahead of German election – More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against far-right extremism ahead of the country’s general election.
The far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on Feb. 23…
FDP deputy leader Kubicki rejects the idea that “firewall” demonstrations reflect majority opinion: Otherwise the red-green party would have made huge gains in the polls.
Get it?
The “Rave The Planet” party parade has begun – The event aims to set an example for love and peace.
The techno parade “Rave the Planet” with Loveparade founder Dr. Motte has started in Berlin. Thousands are on the Straße des 17. Many people are still on their way to the party demonstration between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column in Tiergarten.
If we could only figure out how they get into these near-insurmountable high-security facilities.
Maybe then we could finally find a way to stop them.
Germany: Climate activists block four airports – Cologne/Bonn airport announced it was suspending flights after an “unauthorized intrusion.” Protestors said they were also targeting air hubs in Stuttgart, Nuremberg, and Berlin.
Letzte Generation or “Last Generation” climate activists had promised demonstrations at several German airports this week.
They shared footage of themselves blocking the runway in Cologne, as well as in Stuttgart. The group also claimed to be blocking traffic in Berlin.
Who could ask for more?
Other than maybe a few half-naked dancing girls.
Beer, bratwurst and conspiracy: Inside a meeting of Germany’s far-right AfD – … They came for an evening of conversation with the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD), Germany’s leading far-right party.
To one camp, this meeting represented a call for political change; to the other, a risk to German democracy. That vehement disagreement is one being played out across the nation as it heads towards regional elections in September.
After far-right gains in several European countries, most notably in the Netherlands and Italy, Germany may follow suit.
PS: Sign in the photograph: “How many more Hitler documentaries do you need?”
I was really worried for a while there that the Berlin Film Festival was going to say it supports right-wing extremism.
But now it’s official. The Berlin Film Festival says it stands against right-wing extremism. Whew. Thank goodness. You just never know these days.
What a clown show.
“Members of the AfD were elected to the Bundestag and the Berlin House of Representatives in the last elections. Accordingly, they are also represented in political cultural committees and other bodies. That is a fact, and we have to accept it as such,” the festival said. “Both the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Berlin Senate receive invitation quotas for the Berlinale, which are allocated to the democratically elected members of all parties in the Bundestag and House of Representatives. It was against this background that the AfD representatives were invited to the Berlinale.”
First, German climate activists of the “last generation” kind decided to glue themselves to the roads (and boy have those roads ever been cold these days).
Now they’ve decided to up the ante and begin organizing “disobedient assemblies.”
The next thing you know they’ll be holding hands and breath together until they turn blue in the face! This senseless escalation of violence must finally come to an end, people. I mean it.
German climate activists to stop gluing themselves to roads – Climate group the Last Generation said they will no longer glue themselves to roads as a protest method. They will now use the tactic of organizing “disobedient assemblies.”
PS: German of the day: Wütend (the guy with the sign). That means angry.
That means horn concert.
Horn concert wakes up the capital: Thousands of farmers demonstrate in Berlin.
Before the planned protest demonstration by farmers at the Brandenburg Gate, participants with their tractors headed toward Berlin city center on Monday morning. Loud honking could be heard in several parts of the city in the early morning hours and also during the night.
That means to paralyze.
For example: Bauernproteste legen Städte und Autobahnen lahm means farmers’ protests paralyze cities and freeways.
The week of rage – What’s in store for us tomorrow?
Starting tomorrow, farmers all over Germany will be taking to the barricades to demonstrate against the government’s (subvention-cutting) policy. Expected are highway blockades, rallies, protest camps and rallies all over the country. The farmers’ association expects “tens of thousands of tractors” to take part.
Worried about how heated up the atmosphere is getting?
Then why did you heat it up in the first place? Subsidies are like heroin. You don’t take heroin away from a heroin addict without expecting a reaction, do you?
Protest against German vice-chancellor shocks political class – Angry farmers attempt to stop Robert Habeck disembarking from ferry…
Deputy chancellor and economy minister Robert Habeck was on his way back from the island of Hooge on Thursday night when he faced a group of about 250-300 farmers at Schlüttsiel harbour, near the border with Denmark. They had gathered to protest against a recent government decision to slash agricultural subsidies.
“What I’m really worried about is how heated up the atmosphere in the country is becoming,” he added. “The right to protest in Germany is a precious asset. Coercion and violence destroy this asset.”
