Several thousand people on Saturday joined a street demonstration and rally in Berlin organized by Germany’s “Lateral Thinking” protest movement.

The protest faction, best known for staging demonstrations against COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, was calling for a reassessment of government measures and “consequences for those responsible.”

However, a large contingent also protested against the German government’s push to rebuild the country’s military.

    there were several violations of the requirement not to display posters referring to the magazine “Compact,” which Germany’s domestic intelligence service had classified as right-wing extremist

    Participants also voiced opposition to Germany’s push to rebuild its military.

    I always thought right wing leads to strong man tactics and increased militarism.
