In Berlin, where a rally of thousands of people was held today against the extension of quarantine restrictions due to the coronavirus, some of the radical protesters broke the cordon and went to storm the Reichstag. In his hands were the flags of the Kaiser empire.
The video appeared on Saturday, August 29.
Also, some had Russian and American flags. According to media reports, during the rally, the police detained more than 200 people. Furthermore, most of them were arrested due to clashes with the police in the Russian embassy. Law enforcement officers also used pepper spray to suppress the riots.
As can be seen in another video of the assault on the Reichstag, the police began to cut off the entrances to the building so that the protesters on the flank could not come to the aid of other protesters who, with imperial flags, came out to break the main address.
“Several people entered the cordoned off area at Platz der Republik and climbed the stairs of the Reichstag building,” local police wrote. She reports that protesters in Berlin were unable to enter the local parliament building and complains that stones and bottles were thrown at law enforcement officers.
“It seems the police are understaffed. Incredible scenes are taking place,” writes Tagesspiegel.
According to the German daily Die Welt, more than 38,000 people participated in the protests.
We remember, on Saturday, August 29, thousands of people took to the streets of Berlin, who are opposed to the quarantine restrictions imposed by the coronavirus. About 18 thousand people gathered on the main street Friedrichstrasse.
