Berlin / Munich - Among the numerous announced demonstrations against the measures to contain the corona virus , special attention is given: In Berlin, the controversial vegan chef Attila Hildmann has called for a car parade . In other German cities - such as Munich or Hamburg - organizers are expecting several thousand participants for demonstrations.
While the demonstrators sometimes show little commitment to differentiate themselves from right-wing currents, fundamental demands are shared by many people. According to a recent survey, the Germans - in the event of a renewed epidemic - would like the measures to be legitimized better and solidarity seems to be crumbling. Demonstrations against right-wing movements are now also starting in many places.
Corona crisis: Attila Hillmann's demonstration in Berlin starts with a car parade
The police are on the road in Berlin on Saturday afternoon with a deployment of 550 emergency services . According to a police spokesman, it remained quiet until noon.
According to observers, Hildmann's car parade , which has made a name for itself in recent weeks, especially in the conspiracy theorists scene, has only reached a few followers.
Hardly more than 60 people are likely to be listening to #Hildmann warning that "Antifa" could still set fire to buildings today, as in previous nights in the American #Minneapolis # b3005 pic.twitter.com/n6IgpSY3PZ

Corona crisis: Demonstrations in cities should start in the afternoon
In Munich , the organizers were still prohibited on Friday from gathering more than 1000 people on the Theresienwiese and - out of fear of right-wing conspirators - forbidden to wear a Star of David. The organizers had applied for a permit for up to 10,000 people, which was prohibited for reasons of infection protection - however, several thousand people are expected to demonstrate in Munich.
Also in Nuremberg from 3.30 p.m. more than 1500 participants are expected at Wöhrder Wiese and Westpark, according to n-tv 14 different demonstrations are planned in Hamburg, the largest under the motto "Vigil for the Basic Law".
