Antifa gangs in Germany have started checking compliance with the mask requirement on Berlin’s public transport system and assaulting those not wearing a mask.
They are also said to have thrown off passengers without a mask from a train, even though they had a medical certificate that exempted them from the mask requirement.
Berliner Zeitung, a news outlet which belongs to the Springer Group, reported gleefully on this development.
Accordingly, the self-proclaimed “anti-fascists” made themselves felt with the slogan: “Antifa mask control!” When presented with the medical certificates of the affected passengers, they rejected these and instead assaulted them. The attackers told a journalist: “The certificates are probably not real. Now we have to do the job of the police.”
The train passengers were injured in the Antifa assault.
Around 650 police officers were on duty to monitor illegal demos and gatherings in the city.
A registered car parade against Corona measures was on the way through the city from Friedrichsfelde at lunchtime with 80 cars and more than 170 participants. Antifa thugs also attacked the motorcade. Eleven men and three women were arrested, including for road abuse and assault.
