Interior Senator Andreas Geisel (SPD) condemned the violence and riots.
“What we experienced yesterday is not a political stance, but a blind rage of destruction,” he said on Saturday, according to the interior administration.
“It's destructive and doesn't solve a single problem.
The state will not give way to threats of violence.
The rule of law is a valuable asset and must always prevail. "
The Berlin SPD top candidate Franziska Giffey emphasized on the RBB information radio that violence is not a means of political conflict.
"What happens in the city when it comes to the lawful evacuation of places, that people are of the opinion that they can enforce their will with massive violence against police forces, that is not okay."
