GdP boss makes parents responsible
After the protest in Schweinfurt, the federal chairman of the police union (GdP), Oliver Malchow, criticized parents who use their children "as shields against police measures" at demonstrations against the corona measures.
"These mothers and fathers accept that their child will get into a violent confrontation," Malchow told the Rheinische Post.
