“Prevent terror like in Paris” – Berlin JU calls for the Bundeswehr to be deployed during protests

In view of announced student protests in the capital, the Junge Union Berlin-Mitte is calling for the Bundeswehr to be deployed. In addition, the CDU youth organization wants the planned demonstrations to be “stopped”. The picture accompanying the post on Instagram shows a crowd of people in front of the Brandenburg Gate and two helmeted Bundeswehr soldiers in combat gear. The contribution is accompanied by the German national anthem.

It can be read: "The so-called 'student' protests are scheduled to take place in Berlin on October 31st. Paris has shown what haters are doing to the free, democratic world," writes the Junge Union in a post on Instagram. "We demand that the Bundeswehr be called in as a precautionary measure to defend our free order. In order to prevent terror like in Paris."

An online initiative called “GenZ regulates” or “GenZ stands up” is calling for protests in 23 cities on October 31st. Among other things, she advocates for more climate protection, measures against rising living costs and against compulsory military service. She expressly rejects violence.

The Berlin police announced on Saturday that they had no information that there were increasing calls for blockades or protests at schools. However, she is closely following the current developments in the context of the student protests in France and Italy and is analyzing their possible effects on the gatherings in the capital.

According to their own information, the Berlin police are preparing for an extensive operation on October 31st - also with a view to Halloween night, when the police regularly have to intervene.
