Detail from the protest in Berlinphoto: AP / Markus Schreiber Protesters, most of whom did not wear masks and did not respect the distance from others of 1.50 meters prescribed in Germany, marched in a procession towards the Brandenburg Gate. The police started dispersing them in the afternoon, but about a hundred remained until late in the evening. Police filed a complaint against the event organizers for "non-compliance with hygiene rules." During a separate anti-fascist demonstration in Berlin's Neukeln district, protesters threw stones at police, fired fireworks and damaged two police vehicles and the office of a local party. A total of 1,100 police officers were deployed on Saturday at the site of both protests. Today, several hundred demonstrators gathered again at the Brandenburg Gate, according to an AFP journalist. Most wore masks and respected distance from others. Although Germany was relatively spared during the pandemic and had less than 9,200 deaths, authorities were alarmed by the recurrence of the infection. Politicians criticized Saturday's rally, considering it irresponsible. "Yes, protests should be possible in this age of coronavirus as well, but not in that way," said Health Minister Jens Spahn, stressing the need to respect the sanitary measures announced.
