Germany: Activists plan to demonstrate in Berlin and Dresden May 5
Anti-extremist activists plan to demonstrate in Berlin and Dresden, Germany, May 5. Heightened security, travel disruptions likely.
Anti-extremist activists plan to demonstrate in Berlin and Dresden May 5. In Berlin, activists plan to gather near the Brandenburg Gate from 18:00. In Dresden, activists plan to gather around Pohlandplatz from 17:00. The actions are in response to an attack that targeted a Social Democrat (SPD) member of the European Parliament in Dresden on May 3.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites. Counter-protests, although unlikely, cannot be ruled out. Confrontations between demonstrators and counter-protestors are possible.
Avoid the affected areas as a standard security precaution. Allow extra time if traveling in the vicinity of protest locations. Heed instructions from authorities.
