Overview

• Berlin police said 20 to 30 people tried to demonstrate during the ARD interview with CSU leader Markus Söder on the Bundestag terrace.
• Officers classified the group as part of the right‑wing scene and moved in quickly because a deployment unit was already on site.
• Five individuals were temporarily detained and others fled, and flyers were reportedly thrown during the attempt.
• ARD stated the Söder Sommerinterview was recorded without disturbance and had already concluded when police intervened.
• The Identitäre Bewegung claimed responsibility in a video posted on X, after a July incident where art activists disrupted a live interview with AfD’s Alice Weidel and ARD later tightened security.
