Berlin Neo-Nazi March Blocked, Counter-Protesters Arrested
A planned right-wing extremist march in Berlin’s Friedrichshain district was effectively blocked by significantly larger counter-protests, resulting in its premature end after only four hours. Approximately 850 right-wing extremists, far fewer than anticipated, participated, facing off against over 2,000 counter-demonstrators. Police deployed 1,500 officers to maintain order amidst numerous clashes and arrests, primarily for mask-wearing violations. This was the third such march since December, with participation numbers steadily increasing.
