Germany chaos: Huge riots erupt on streets of Berlin as police and angry protesters clash

The violence resulted in several arrests as clashes broke out at the east Berlin rally on Friday night. The demonstration was in protest against the European Police Congress, which will meet in Berlin next week, according to the German website focus.de. The group is an anti-fascist movement who oppose the rise of neo-Nazi sentiment in Germany.

A video of the clashes was uploaded on Russia state broadcaster RT’s Youtube page.

Taking to the comments section of the clip, users posted their thoughts.

One said: “France will fall next, the real people of France are gonna take their country back.”

Someone else wrote: “Poor little violent babies. They can dish it out, but can’t take it.”

Another viewer said: “Why we keep fighting amongst ourselves, other countries are growing stronger and waiting.”

The Antifa movement in Germany is composed of multiple far-left, autonomous, militant anti-fascist groups and individuals, who usually use the abbreviation Antifa.

It takes its name from the historical Antifaschistische Aktion.

The riots come a week after Germany and France descended into disarray amid fury at restrictive EU regulations on the environment and agriculture – prompting farmers to blockade main roads with tractors in both EU member-states.

German protesters said they were fed up with new animal welfare and restrictions on the use of pesticides to protect insects, among other things.

The farmer’s collective Land schafft Verbindung (LSV), or Land Creates Connection, has led the movement against the tightening regulations.

Placards accompanying the tractors read: “Don’t forget that farmers feed you,” “No farm, no food, no future” and “We are fed up!”
