Thousands of demonstrators rallied in Berlin on Saturday to protest against measures imposed in Germany to stem the coronavirus pandemic, saying they violated people's rights and freedoms.

BERLIN - Thousands of demonstrators rallied in Berlin on Saturday to protest against measures imposed in Germany to stem the coronavirus pandemic, saying they violated people’s rights and freedoms.

The loose gathering, estimated by police at 15,000, included libertarians, constitutional loyalists and sceptics of the science behind policies to fight the pandemic. There was also a small far-right presence with some marchers carrying Germany’s imperial flag. The protests followed a rallying call from Michael Ballweg, an entrepreneur and political outsider who has organised similar rallies in Stuttgart and is running to become mayor of the southwestern city.

Most people have respected measures that include wearing face masks in shops, while the government has just imposed mandatory tests for holidaymakers returning from high-risk areas.

Et en France, j'espère qu'on va s'y mettre rapidement, cette histoire commence à bien faire.

Those Germans really know how to put on a rally!!

Wonderful, Together we will destroy dictatory measures of WHO and DrTedros

Yeah.!!!!!

Non, c’est bon ça. 20,000 personnes, à peu près, ce qui est excellent, pour un événement bidon

Lying MSM ... thousands... sheesh... this look like 'thousands'?

Thousands ? You're blind or paid to lie. 100.000s...

Hundred of thousands you liars

Yo sabía q hay gente bruta pero no pensé q tantos.

Millions Hundreds of Thousands Thousands

1.2 million people

Millions of people are tired of all those bs !

You mean MILLIONS. Get your facts straight you liars

Wrong. Million of people.

😶😶😶

allisonpearson German media doing what it always does best whenever the wisdom of the deep establishment is called into question - report a gathering as largely comprising far right racists, etc. I am sure some were there, but people see through this ‘trick’ now, not least post 2015.

Aloha corona. Happy feasting on these souls...

Jajajajja they should try to live in Mexico or Brasil and see what really feels living without restrictions. In those countries people need to ignore restrictions in order to get money.

La ignorancia no tiene fronteras.

Also yesterday, the left Antifa on a demo in Brandenburg.

1.3 MILLION

Creí que era 20 de noviembre! Pero no! Es Berlín!

Everyone knows the virus will infect and kill those uncaring, selfish people who protest for freedom or jobs. The virus will not harm you if you are protesting against racism, the police, or capitalism. This virus is politically discreet.

Y aquí apelan a nuestra madurez social. Todo está en un pueblo consciente, que se solidarice con el otro. Si tomo medidas, te cuido y me cuidas.

I thought the Germans were smarter than Americans, but seriously - chanting for an end to this virus in mass rallies, is about as dumb a theory as l’ve ever heard. If this attitude takes hold, good luck on getting rid of it.

Que oso

Maths.

nstamouli

Germany's two most dangerous viruses, are gone already.

Thousands is the number Reuters must fire from the stuff when this is over!

1M+ fakenews

You people need to wake up to what's going on here in the states!!!! Im not that smart but even I can do simple math and yesterday decided to see for myself. Please correct me if I'm wrong but why are we soo afraid!!! I applaud this so much. Makes my heart sing!

You have got to be kidding me...how is this better than Trump?

ONE POINT FOUR MILLION

Good for them

My advice...Google how it went in Italy. There's your answer.

1.4 million you mean

No mask, no distanceomg, open everything didn’t work so well in TX, AZ, FL, CA USA, not Brazil nor the UK. It sure what they thinkthey are looking forward to by doing this. It will be temporary then rollbacks will be needed. Watch.

Infection numbers in 🇩🇪 are static for week at0,6% of tests, which is below the specifity of the PCR test. The increase in infections is due to the increase in tests. Healthy people are tested now to prove a second wave.

Like, 1400, thousands. There were also groups of tens, about 140,000 groups of 10.

There were confirmed initially by the Berlin police more than 1,3 Mio people on the streets today . 1/

There was actually 1.4 million people at the protest

And no masks. We'll wait...

TheGreatAwakeningWorldWide

La ignorancia no solo vive en el tercer mundo, anoten eso 😉

How many thousands? Liars.

How do the Germans say TrumpVirus?

Hmmm....large groups of able bodied Germans organizing (and marching) en masse around a common cause...this doesn’t always end well for the world. How about we give them what they want.

Jeez the number of Maskatrons & members of the Covid-Mogadon Hive-Mind Collective on here is worrying. WTFU ppl. Globally a 0.0089% death to population ratio. LESS than Seasonal Flu. You're being played fools. Were are all the homeless deaths? No hygiene living & sleeping to'ther

Protesting and contracting. Such a dilemma...a true contradiction.

I’m sure the solution is not this one for sure but a problem actually. The worst virus humanity will always have is stupidity. And that’s very difficult to fight because most part of stupid people will never realize they actually are stupid. If they get sick be the last in line

'Thousands'? You people are rotten. Unworthy of calling yourself a news organization.

It's fitting that this protest occurred in Berlin, which knows all too well the scourge of totalitarianism and which led the way in taking down the Soviet Union.

Now if we could get every country to do the same thing but at much larger levels. Time for the sane to drown out the irrationally afraid.

Fake news It was 1.4 million

The whole lock down makes no sense,very satanic. It kills. People are so burnt out. Its a strategy to kill those not sick. And unless people change these presidents. People will die. Every one will die. Chase away these presidents. Save your selves.

Sure,the resistance movement have started,soon it will spread all over the world. When people are hungry the go to war. Imagine in Botswana in Africa they are on lock people down for six months. South Africa has locked down and banned alcohol and ciggarrets. You wonder why?

?

That's just way too many people. I hope they are all exercising caution.

Lie. More than 1.3 Mil 👊

1,3 million people ! thousands is pretty far from accurate !

17,000 blithering idiots.

1 milion

Over 1 million people

1.4 MILLION and not thousands misinformation and lying TheMoreYouKnow WWG1GWA WWG1GWAWORLDWIDE

Umm, I believe you mean over a million. 😉

1.4 million not thousands you gimps

Aside from the signage, it doesn't look like a protest at all. Looks like a tourist town on the weekend.

DumbAsTrump

I Stand With Berlin.

Let's gather in a group, to stop a virus that spreads well through groups Huh?

Boo

Time to lock down the vulnerable only and let the wheels of the world turn.

Wow, if Germans protest against their freedom right you know its big

Don't spit your propaganda lies They protest the Soviet plandemic Danke Berliner

It feels like CSU party and Germany is going out of control because iron lady Angela Merkel seems to be resigning by end of 2020!! Now the power struggle started there so administration cracks are visible!!!!

Genius 🤣

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Why isn’t Australia doing this?

Excelente el covi es el engaño más grande contra humanidad existe pero no es causante de toda la cantidad de muertes que apareceen en los medios todo es un engaño y tú gobernante lo sabe😀😀😀

cc paulomathias PauloMartins10 danimasou(E não é que já teve gente rotulando esses manifestantes de 'ultra direita e de negacionistas')? Aliás a uns meses atrás ou dias atrás na Sérvia isso aconteceu)

cc tabicarlini

cc virnyah

Fucking idiots🤦🏼‍♂️

Now on both sides of the Atlantic 🌎🌍

Good for them! There is no excuse for such stringent social controls for a virus with a 99.96% survivability rate.

Seeing people protesting in many places wearing no masks amid the current pandemic, just makes what's been reported in the media about virus transmission more controversial,and encourages others to go recklessly on the same path;it's confusing sometimes😷

Stupidity

WOW... Plenty of 'SAFE DISTANCING' seen here . huh?

They will rue the day.

The number of new cases in Germany has been increasing for days, and they are gathering right now!

When will people learn, you can't just wish this pandemic away.

marketst0day Education doesn't mean common sense . The crowd is good example of that

They are asking for the right to infect themselves and license to kill since they in turn will be infecting those who follow the rules. I guess they do not have elderly parents or grandparents.

A vaccine or some medicine is the only solution. Herd immunity isn't something that'll work for COVID 19 based on our experience (people getting reinfected after they recover from this virus) With that said, mass gatherings such as protests will be a breeding ground for corona.

Here we go again 🚷

malkusm Fauci says that this is a safe activity. When are we protesting here in the US? Let’s set the date! CoronaDone

In 14days time... we will see the outcome of this

If our (trump’s America) example of inept, stupid, anti-science, deadly COVID response ( & lack thereof) isn’t enough for people to figure out what works & what doesn’t, then....

Stupidity has no national boundaries.

Since the first Lock-Down didn't work, maybe we should consider a different approach.

Wisdom is gonne, virus in the offensive.

No es muy inteligente de su parte hacer una protesta así, el riesgo de contagio sube al máximo

There’s more and more people who think people and entire countries are being manipulated by the “new world order” we have news. We are waking up and it will not happen as planned. There are cheap cures for the virus and the corrupt WHO only blocks and attacks them...

Nyet das boat

Those who protest curbs can get together and live in one unique community , then they can enjoy the virus freely.

Wow!

The article states than almost 1,000 people died from COVID-19 in Germany and that’s not true. I think the article meant to say 10,000 but you missed a 0.

thousands of intensely, hopelessly stupid people.

Looks like they want to be just like America. It’s going so well for us here.

MUST WATCH Agenda 2021 EXPOSED

and further spreading the virus....

Good to know that mass ignorance is not limited to the US.

REOPEN EVERYTHING!! We know this is an agenda to destroyt our economies , Agenda 2030 UN Follow RosaKoire

It must be comforting to Americans to see that other countries also have stupid people.

Well if the protest was against racism no one would infected duh !

I'm reminded of what Dr Redfield said here, if we all locked down for 6 weeks this virus would be all but eradicated. But there's no way on earth we could ever get everyone to do it. Not just in the U.S., but most of the world.

those people are the only allies trump has left in germany - those few idiots. well done!

I see. Demanding their sacred right to have as many deaths as the USA.

Unbelievable 😮 All brain-amputated 😄 CoronProtestBerlin

fast_idious should all have a greencard immediately & ciao

It will all end in tears.

Makes you wonder who are the driving forces behind these kind of demos. 🤔

Well now it's not curbed

Thank you for giving me more freedom, the virus said.

By the end of this, Sweden will be hailed as genius. There was never any hiding from this. Every where will get it regardless of mitigation.

Let’s be honest- another round of lockdowns like we had in March just wont be tolerated by most people around the world. It’s either a vaccine, or herd immunity from here on.

Long way to go to beat the Americans

OMG, the Trump Dum-Dum Virus is spreading internationally.

COVIDIOTS

Nice....wholesale handouts of C19....

Utter chaos
