March 22, 2025, Berlin, Berlin, Germany: A neo-Nazi demonstration in Berlin's Friedrichshain district was severely disrupted Saturday, March 22, 2025, as right-wing extremists faced off against thousands of counter-protesters, leading to multiple arrests and a shortened march. The demonstration, organized under the banner "For Law and Order, Against Left-Wing Extremism" by groups including the "Civic leer más Alliance for Germany" and Alliance NRW, was slated to begin at 1 p.m. at the Ostkreuz train station. However, it remained stalled for hours due to blockades by counter-demonstrators and police interventions, only moving a mere 200 meters (about 650 feet) before being called off by organizers around 5 p.m. Berlin police deployed 1,500 officers, including reinforcements from Bavaria and Bremen, to prevent clashes between the right-wing group and an estimated 3,000 counter-protesters spread across 15 separate rallies. Tensions flared early as police arrested at least 15 neo-Nazi participants before the march even began, citing violations of a ban on face coverings and the display of unconstitutional symbols. leer menos
