Olaf Scholz, Angela Merkel, Markus Söder – they are all enemy images of those who demonstrated against the Crown measures on Saturday in Berlin. A civil protest was announced. Then there were numerous derailments on the streets like this poster campaign, organized by an AfD district association.
According to the police, a total of about 38,000 people took to the streets of the capital. Including many right-wing extremists and right-wing groups. That shocked few of the other protesters surprisingly.

“If you asked the protesters why they were here, even though AfD, NPD, Third Way asked for this demonstration, they didn’t really have any good answers, but they played down it and said, “Well, we’re just for the cause here.” or they have put forward arguments like, “Well, everything is Nazi these days.” And it was actually the case that there were small groups where there were no right-wing extremists, so to speak, of course, but around them. So you just had to turn around and then you came back to see someone who optically fit the image. They were wearing the right shirts. They wore the appropriate tattoos, they carried flags. They weren’t hiding. You can see it in the imperial flags, those red-white-black. You can see it in anti-Semitic symbols. There were anti-vaccination opponents who wore a Jewish star that said vaccinated. The conspiracy ideologues can also be easily discovered in the “Q” because they follow this QAnon theory of the deep state. ”
The protest was not only directed against the current measures of the crown. Many protesters did not hide their rejection of state power and the government.

“Police officers were often asked to resist when they were anywhere, and they were asked to do so with chants. People also yelled “join in” for them to switch sides, so to speak. The peace treaty was shouted and chanted several times in front of the US and Russian embassies. That sounds such a friendly peace treaty, but there is a completely different ideology behind it. It is simply behind the fact that Germany is still occupied and that people want to get rid of it. This is part of the Reich’s civic ideology, which says that Germany is not yet free.”
The danger posed by some groups was shown on Saturday afternoon. Protesters and right-wing extremists break through the barriers and advance towards the steps of the Reichstag building. In hindsight, the organizer distances himself from the campaign, but nothing more.

“In fact, there was no real distancing from the right-wing extremists or the ideas of the right-wing extremists. There were no statements against racism, against misogyny, against all these issues. On the stage in front of the Reichstag there were several speakers who identified clearly the ideas of right-wing extremists, Among other things, a former NPD cadre who pointed out a policewoman and then told her that if they were in power, women would no longer be policemen, because women were only there to give life And not to take it away. And it just presented this old understanding of women and what they have to do there. And there was cheers and applause and there was no distancing. So for everyone who was on the show and now they want to say that They are no longer right. You can only say that there are no excuses, you can see right-wing extremists on every corner and you really have to think about who you walk down the street with. ”
