Fundamentalist-Christian "March for life" accompanied by counter protests in Berlin

September 22, 2019

Several thousand people took part in the annual, fundamentalist Christian "March for Life" in Berlin. The participants demanded a complete ban on abortions and advocated the preservation of Christian values from a fundamentalist point of view. The AfD politician Beatrix von Storch, MdB, also took part in the opening rally.

The march was accompanied by loud protests from left-wing feminist groups over the entire distance. An hour-long sit-in blockade of the march by counter-demonstrators led to a change in the route, drastically shortening the march.

During the march, participants repeatedly pestered journalists.

Thursday rally in Berlin against right-wing federal government in Austria

December 13, 2018

Several dozen activists gather in Berlin in front of the Austrian Embassy to protest against the black-blue/brown federal government under Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
Under the motto "It's Thursday again - also in Berlin", speeches and cultural contributions criticize the shift to the right in Austria and Europe, as well as the right orientation of Kurz's politics and his FPÖ Vice Chancellor H.C. Strache. In particular also the anti-feminist attitude of the right-wing extremist libertarian party is contradicted.

The slogan "It's Thursday again" dates back to the year 2000, when weekly demonstrations against the first edition of the video were held in Vienna by conservative ÖVP and right-wing radical FPÖ.

Thursday demonstration in Vienna against right-wing federal government

November 15, 2018

Several thousand people took part in the weekly demonstration in Vienna against the right-wing black-brown federal government under Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP). The seventh such demonstration on a Thursday was under the motto "We are now together".
The focus of the protest, which was organised by mainly left-wing groups but whose participants reached into the bourgeois camp, was the erosion of workers' rights and the simultaneous collective bargaining in the metal industry. For this reason, the demonstration also passed by the headquarters of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, where the trade unionists who were negotiating solidarised with the protest - and vice versa.
Some participants, wearing a fes, criticised the recently published racist video of the FPÖ on the subject of social abuse.
