Berlin: Hass demo in Berlin-Mitte-1400 police officers against 9,000 demonstrators! Media in danger!

Berlin-Last Saturday there was a hate demo in Berlin-Mitte, in which around 9,000 demonstrators gathered, while around 1400 police officers were in action. The media had difficulty reporting because there were increasing attacks on reporters. The police therefore set up shelters for media professionals in three different locations. During the meeting, handouts with texts for speeches and instructions were found at the participants. In addition, posters and transparents that connected the Holocaust to Palestine were removed. Journalists were also verbally attacked and had to be protected by the officials. The police arrested a total of 68 people and initiated 36 criminal investigation due to sedition, approval of crimes, resistance to enforcement officers and attempted prisoners. In addition, property damage in connection with the Middle East conflict occurred in the entire city area. A high police officer expressed his concern that new demos could be registered every day in the coming weeks and months and the police could not permanently master them. He appealed to politics.

Berlin is faced with a tense situation with increasing anti-Israeli demonstrations. The Berlin citizens are concerned about the growing violence and escalating tensions between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli groups. The demonstrations not only have an impact on the security of the demonstrators and the police, but also on the freedom of the press and the trust of people in the media.

The attacks on reporters are a serious problem because they threaten the freedom of the press and restrict the possibility of comprehensive and objective reporting. The establishment of media protection rooms is a step in the right direction to protect journalists and ensure that they can report unhindered.

The removal of posters and transparents associated the Holocaust with Palestine shows that the authorities in Berlin are hard against anti -Semitic statements. It is important to emphasize that the Holocaust was a unique and hideous tragedy and should not be misused for political purposes.

The numerous arrests and criminal investigations related to hate demo illustrate the seriousness of the situation. It is crucial that those who call up violence or spread hatred are held responsible and that the law enforcement authorities take appropriate measures to ensure public security.

The concern of the rank -high police officer over the coming weeks and months is justified. It is important that politics develop strategies to deal with the challenges and contain possible outbreaks of violence. This could be done in the form of dialogue and mediation processes to reduce tensions and contribute to a peaceful solution.

The Middle East conflict also has an impact on urban life in Berlin, as there were factual damage in connection with the demonstrations. This burdens urban resources and requires additional measures to maintain public order.

It is the responsibility of the government and the public institutions to ensure the security of citizens and to promote the protection of freedom of the press and the peaceful dialogue. Only through comprehensive and balanced communication can the trust between different population groups be restored and prejudices and hatred can be overcome.
