Overview

• Left-wing and left-extremist demonstrations are scheduled for April 30 and May 1 across Berlin, with thousands expected to participate.
• Authorities have deployed several thousand police officers from Berlin and other regions to prevent potential unrest, though large-scale violence is not anticipated.
• Key protest themes include the Middle East conflict, with a focus on claims of 'genocide in Palestine,' Kurdish rights, and the arrest of former RAF member Daniela Klette.
• Local activism will feature prominently, including a demonstration-party titled 'Free Görli – Rave Against the Zaun' opposing the planned nighttime closure of Görlitzer Park.
• Creative protests, such as the Grunewald Space Agency's satirical 'Gemeinwohlorientierte Raumfahrt,' will also take place, alongside traditional union marches from Strausberger Platz to the Rotes Rathaus.
