Overview
- Police say 10,000 participants have registered for the march starting 10 a.m. at U‑Bahn Frankfurter Tor and moving along Frankfurter Allee to the Gedenkstätte der Sozialisten, with Die Linke leaders Ines Schwerdtner, Jan van Aken, and Elif Eralp set to attend.
- Berlin police plan a deployment of seven Hundertschaften, more than 500 officers, and say they expect a largely peaceful day but will intervene if needed.
- Authorities flag potential risks from militant groups and parts of the pro‑Palestinian scene that may join the events.
- Organizers present the march as both commemoration and a protest against capitalism and militarization, voicing solidarity with Palestinians and socialist Cuba.
- Recent years brought clashes; for 2025 reports differ, citing 20 to 31 arrests and 17 to 24 injured officers after incidents involving pyrotechnics and flagpoles.
