A demonstration in Berlin opposed to German restrictions on coronaviruses was halted through police on Saturday after protesters, unsurprisingly, may have opposed social estification regulations.
At least 18,000 other people attended the demonstration, which stopped shortly after it began because protesters refused to wear a mask or walk away socially.
Earlier this week, the government banned the demonstration for fear that protesters would violate coronavirus regulations, but an appeals court overreeld the ban on the condition that protesters comply with social est breach regulations.
“The minimum distance is not respectable to most,” the police announced shortly after the start of the demonstration, saying that “there is still no other option to break the concentration. “
Protesters say social estating and mask regulation violates their fundamental human rights and they have noticed Robert F’s opposition. Kennedy Jr. and the far right of QAnon.
This is the time of the first demonstration opposed to the Covid-19 restrictions in Germany this month, which has had one of the most powerful and successful responses to coronavirus in Europe, however, infections have increased this month, which led Chancellor Angela Merkel to submit a fine of 50 euros (about $60) unlike other people who do not wear masks where they want. Germany has experienced around 242,000 infections and 9,297 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. But despite low numbers, daily infection rates have been at their highest in the country since April. “We will have to live with this virus for a long time. It’s still a big deal. Please continue to take it seriously,” Merkel said.
