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

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

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.
