Thousands protest against government restrictions on coronavirus in Germany Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday and took hundreds of protesters away by truck.
In that ‘peaceful’ demonstration of some 36,000 people, a sector known as the right wing threw stones and bottles. Around 200 people were arrested at that time.
In other European cities, some protesters have held similar protests, calling the coronavirus a “rumor”.
Thousands of people gathered in Trafalgar Square in the UK capital London to protest against coronavirus restrictions and more, including 5G. They put up posters saying ‘masks are puzzles’ and ‘new general = new fascism’.
Similar protests took place in Paris, Vienna and Zurich.
Near the Brandenburg Gate in Germany, the police ordered a team to disperse to comply with security restrictions. When stones and bottles were thrown, about 200 people were arrested.
“Unfortunately, we had no other choice,” police said in a tweet. All the steps taken so far have not met the conditions.
The protesters crowded together and sat together. In other places, 30,000 people gathered peacefully.
Although Germany has not seen such a wave of infections, there is an increase in infections. Germany is quite successful in preventing, detecting, isolating and treating the coronavirus. They have also managed to reduce the mortality rate of people over 60 years of age.
Germany began to relax physical distance measurements in early April. But new infections are still being tracked. In August, that infection increased even more.
On Thursday, Chancellor Angela Merkel introduced a minimum fine of 50 euros for not wearing a mask.
The ban on large gatherings was also extended until next year.
“We have to live with this virus for a long time,” Merkel said. It is still deadly. In winter it will get more challenging.
In Germany, 242,000 people have been infected with the virus and 9,296 have died. Which is significantly lower than the numbers in Russia, the UK, Spain, France and Italy, according to research from Johns Hopkins University.
