Medium-sized entrepreneurs demonstrate against the traffic lights. Demonstrators shouted “The traffic lights have to go”.

Cottbus - Brandenburg's Economics Minister Jörg Steinbach (SPD) spoke at the rally. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) for southern Brandenburg had emphasized that it would not take part in the demonstration as a partner. A “one-sided partisanship”, for example as a co-organizer who adopts the demands of the initiative with around 400 members is out of the question.
