Berlin police break up crown demonstrations – cordon riot

Berlin police are breaking up the large-scale demonstration of opponents of the crown’s restrictions. The deciding factor is “in particular non-compliance with the distance regulations under the Infection Protection Act”.

The police break up the demonstration against the Corona measures in Berlin. The minimum distance was not observed and the requirement for oral and nasal protection was ignored. The first arrests were made. All the news on the live ticker.

reBerlin police announced the dissolution of the controversial crown rally in the early afternoon. “All the above measures have not led to compliance with the requirements,” police said on Saturday.

“They are not observing minimum distances in all areas despite repeated requests,” an announcement told protesters. “For this reason, there is no other option than to dissolve the meeting.” The dissolution concerned the demonstration in Friedrichstrasse, which was registered by the Stuttgart initiative “lateral thinking 711”.

Police had initially asked the protesters to wear mouth and nose protection because the minimum distance was not respected. A spokeswoman announced, however, that if this condition was not met, it would be “the last resort” not to let the demonstration start and to dissolve the meeting.

Currently, the police are advising the organizer of the Corona demonstration in Straße des 17. Juni. There are also no distances. “We are currently asking the meeting leader if he would like to start his meeting in these circumstances and advise against a larger influx,” police said.

Around 18,000 protesters had gathered in Friedrichstrasse, Unter den Linden and at the Brandenburg Gate. Among the participants there are citizens who reject the restriction of fundamental rights through pandemic measures, but also esotericists, conspirators and right-wing extremists.
