A neo-Nazi demonstration in Berlin's Friedrichshain district faced overwhelming counter-protests on Saturday, leading to its early conclusion. Despite the organizers estimating 1,200 participants, around 850 neo-Nazis began the march but were quickly stymied by thousands of counter-protesters, leading to tensions between both sides. The police deployed approximately 1,500 officers to maintain order. Reports indicated around 4,000 counter-demonstrators actively blocked streets and engaged in clashes with police. Ultimately, there were 100 arrests related to the protests, with further details expected later.
The march gathered 850 neo-Nazi participants, met with significant counter-protests from more than 2,000 people, prompting police to use around 1,500 officers to manage the situation.
Counter-protesters actively obstructed the neo-Nazi march, with reports of repeated scuffles; police deployed measures including pepper spray against those attempting to breach barriers.
