German police clash with protesters angry at Merkel's coronavirus law By Reuters Staff BERLIN (Reuters) - German police unleashed water cannon and pepper spray in an effort to scatter thousands of protesters angry about a new legal framework for enforcing coronavirus restrictions passed by parliament on Wednesday. Protesters near Berlins landmark Brandenburg Gate threw bottles at police and set off smoke bombs, witnesses reported.

Alternative for Germany (AfD) has compared the amendment with the 1933 Enabling Act that paved the way to Hitlers Nazi dictatorship.

Some held banners with slogans such as Stop the corona pandemic lie and No to forced vaccinations. Health Minister Jens Spahn told parliament no one would be forced to be vaccinated and described the pandemic as a once in a century phenomenon.
