A 22-year-old German politician who secretly served in Ukraine’s army now faces expulsion from the pro-Russian Alternative for Germany party after calling his own leadership “Russia-kissers.”
I can second this.
I was at the queer march yesterday in Berlin. And the amount of attacks and intimidation the police did to the march was unbelievable. Whereas the march was one of the most peaceful demonstrations I have ever seen. All the people marginalised, gay, trans, queer, muslim, jew, arab, black, asian, standing in solidarity against discrimination and crimes against humanity.
The police has so much power in Germany that it feels like a fascist police state. Even more scary is that when I look at any kind of media, I see these demonstrations demonised. IE the only piece of news from this demo yesterday is that someone throwing a glass bottle to a police. Like wtf police stopped, beat and arrested the demonstrators tens of times yet this is the news?
I was there too! Witnessed police brutality although that’s sadly not surprising or shocking anymore but rather expected. Once I was filming and suddenly there was a bunch of cops blocking my way and kinda locking me in when I actually wanted to go out of the crowd. It was a very intimidating moment, people very mostly very peaceful but the cops made me feel really unsafe.
