Third Far-Right Demonstration in Berlin This Year Draws Counterprotests
Neonazis plan to march in Friedrichshain on March 22, prompting organized opposition and heightened police preparations.
- A far-right demonstration titled 'For Law and Order. Against Left-Wing Extremism and Politically Motivated Violence' is scheduled for March 22 near Ostkreuz in Friedrichshain, Berlin.
- This marks the third such event in Berlin within a few months, with similar marches occurring in December and February, both of which saw clashes with counterprotesters.
- Counterdemonstrations have already been announced, with calls on online platforms urging participation in opposing the far-right march.
- The police may relocate the demonstration from its planned site near Ostkreuz for safety reasons, as tensions are expected to be high.
- Previous far-right demonstrations have involved violence, including a December incident where right-wing extremists attacked SPD campaign workers, resulting in injuries and arrests.
