Commentary on corona protests : How about listening for a change?

BerlinA lot of politicians and parts of the media were quick to insult protestors at last weekend’s corona demonstration in Berlin – but  not everyone was a Nazi, conspiracy theorist or “covidiot”. And that’s important.

Right now, large swaths of politicians and journalists are easily dismissing the tens of thousands who demonstrated without masks against the corona restrictions in Berlin. In a never-ending stream of monotonous social media posts, they’re screaming: “Nazis!”, “Pegida”, “corona deniers!” And: “Why was it even allowed?” A simplistic analysis, ideologically driven – fatal for the future.
