This Saturday Anti-Ban Rally in Berlin

Well.....this turned into a pretty big event, with the police estimating around 20k participants.

The chief focus of the group?  Anti-ban rules, negative attitude about masks, etc.

Better of the articles telling the story?  Focus.

It reached a stage when speeches started up on a stage where the police entered the scene (in fair numbers) to take down the organizers.

Blocks away from the scene, near the Reichstag....around 3k folks were gathered there.

Where this whole thing might be heading?  Just in pure numbers, I would suggest that 10 to 15 percent of Germany is fed up with the ban rules and the various problems associated with the economy now.  In six months, if nothing has changed, we enter the political period and fall 2021 election process.  It's possible that we might end up with a newly created political party, just based on anti-ban feelings.

The use of the term 'deniers' (Corona-Deniers)?  Well, over at RBB (the public TV network of Berlin), they used the phrase.  If you review the data, the group is denying that there is any advantage to the masks, and the whole sanitation rule-book is worthless.
