According to the police, the Walpurgis Night in Berlin remained largely undisturbed. Approximately 1,800 officers were deployed, including units involved in the progressive demonstration titled “Take back the night”. The name reportedly serves as a reminder of earlier periods when the police lost control around May 1st, specifically recalling the events that took place in the Kreuzberg district on May 1, 1987. While violence has seen a consistent decrease in recent years, resulting in only minor physical confrontations with the police this time, further left-wing demonstrations are scheduled for the afternoon and evening of May 1st in the capital, following customary annual patterns.
