Cupid Boy 410 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Demonstrators gathered in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart and other German cities to decry coronavirus-triggered restrictions imposed by the government. A right-wing protester attacked a team of reporters in Dortmund. Over 3,000 people rallied in Munich and thousands more gathered in Stuttgart and across Germany on Saturday to demand the lifting of restrictions ordered by the German authorities. Many of the protesters defied the guidelines which call for a limited number of participants and for social distancing to be maintained during such events. The protesters accuse politicians and medical workers of spreading panic and infringing on the population's rights with the prolonged lockdown. Some of the rallies included anti-vaccination activists. In Munich, police used loudspeakers to urge the protesters to minimize the infection risk. While the participants failed to heed the instructions, the police decided not to disperse the gathering "on the grounds of proportionality" as the participants were not violent. However, the authorities dispersed a separate right-wing demonstration which gathered around 25 people in the same city, according to the Germany's public broadcaster ARD. The Stuttgart event also saw thousands of participants take part. Most of them respected the distancing rules, according to the police. Two separate protests were recorded in Berlin, including a smaller one in front of Germany's parliament that ended with the security forces detaining around 30 protesters in order to determine their identity. The larger one saw hundreds of people gather at the Alexanderplatz, in spite of the order which limits the maximum of 50 protesters per rally.

Mars 2,664 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 So dumb, we have had it so lucky here in Germany with a super relaxed lock down compared to other countries and seen good results. Why are they complaining? They have their freedom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leblanc 2,494 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The best thing for both sides is for governments to work on a plan to get as many businesses and stuff open but following new guidelines with social distancing, hygiene and other helpful measures. It's the only way without pissing (too many) people off. Originally people wanted the lockdowns earlier and now people want them to end prematurely Coven Season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermioneT 1,998 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Read a report on the person starting/ organising the protests in Stuttgart yesterday and as it turned out, he didn't expected it getting that huge at all now he just kind of let it go with the flow and feels kind of overwhelmed himself.

Those people are always going to break the rules though and countries are finding it hard to enforce those rules consistently for a long period of time. It's not sustainable.

Well they are definitely not the sharpest tools in the box for electing Trump, but would be interesting to actually analyse the average IQs in each country Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
