Chinese relations. And in russia people have been protesting in the eastern city of about ofsted against the detention of their governor for the 4th weekend in a row for the protests calling for his freedom of the guns and more demands for president Vladimir Putin to step down. Omarion evanston its good to have you with us here in germany theres been a sharp spike in the number of new corona virus infections the countrys leading Public Health institute is warning that people are letting down their guard and not observing social distancing measures while despite these developments in central berlin today thousands of people were out on the streets protesting against coronavirus Restrictions Police were forced to break up the event after many participants ignored hygiene and distant. We are free people chance this crowd during the coronavirus pandemic they say wearing a mask and hearing to restrictions is violating that freedom and it seems thousands agree the mixture of conspiracy theorists far right figures and citizens concerned by the economic effects of the law took to the streets of berlin to say the corona virus has been a false alarm. Thats just plain scare tactics i dont see any danger i dont know any sick people i mean many sick people in march is vacationers there was really something going on in february and now theres no sick people anymore. Ive got a friend who is 93 shes in a care home in her room totally isolated theres no corona in our home and yet she wasnt allowed to leave her room now shes allowed to go out for a walk again but if she meets someone she has to give their address i think thats extremely high. Demand is back to democracy get rid of the laws that restrict us to get rid of the mosques that turn us into slaves. Hardly any of the demonstrators were wearing face masks or adhering to social distancing protocols early in police attempted to enforce distancing measures over megaphones eventually dissolving the protest and telling people to go home german politicians mostly condemned the demonstration saying that it risks harming germanys relative success or handling the outbreak. That success might just be why these people feel impatient to get back to normal life but with a fresh spark in coded cases across the country a gathering of thousands of people not Wearing Masks could jeopardize the freedoms germans are enjoying compared to many other countries hit by the pandemic. Well with me in the studio now is d. W. Political correspondent leoni from hamish time who was at the protest and knew you were out there for hours you told me you spoke to lots of people there what were they telling you what were their demands while oh there are a lot of different people out there now as you said we spoke to many of them some of their demands included including by the organizers who put their demands in a document before the event saying calling on the crowds the end of the pandemic they called as the day of freedom they then called on the German Government to resign and on the state the public broadcasters of the media to also be dissolved and these were 3 demands that were echoed by many people who i spoke to at the protest and what united them was a distrust in the governments measures and you have to remember this is kind of a paradox you said just now a lot of people were telling me well the government was telling us we have to keep our distance and stick to all these restrictions in order for the hospitals not to be overcrowded in order for people not to die but nobody died not that many people died the hospitals are still empty so what did the government tell us in the 1st place and this is why this is the inherent distrust in what the government is telling them and thats why you saw i saw today thousands tens of thousands of people take to the streets not appearing to the rules not adhering to the face masks and they kind of used a lot of them were telling me they see the face mask as sort of that symbol of oppression the government forcing them to wear masks i mean we also have to remember germany has released a lot of its members a lot of restrictions and in recent weeks which has as you said weve seen a search in new infections so enormous amounts of distrust of the government but who are these people learning i mean im wondering because lots of people are quite grateful to the German Government for its Swift Response to the pandemic and the measures that it implemented theyre grateful that it saved lives but these people who. Dont believe band who are going well there also you can read is why provides the people who attended these protests today and what we can say some people were talking to me there were people who worried about the economic consequences of a pandemic there was a bus driver from creation who told me well i havent been able to run my business for 4 months how should i survive they have been people who are worried about their children not being able to go back to school which they have but. Worries about what this pandemic what kind of country to children but we also have to say that. Groups have been mobilizing for this protest not only. The party thats its biggest Opposition Party which also the n p d compact magazine the magazine which is right magazine thats under the observation also use all the t. s for its dinner phobic and revisionist messages conspiracy theorists i talked to some people who believed that bill gates wanted to spread to vaccinate the whole the whole well some really these conspiracy theories that were not only seeing in germany but also across the world where people use this pandemic to feed into these conspiracy theories a lot of them also and a semitic background we saw some today so its hard to say i say the majority was peaceful but id also say we got a lot of verbal abuse from protesters who was you were calling us liars they were calling.
