Around 2,000 police were on hand as Blockupy protestors rallied in Berlin on Friday. Police deployed tear gas and arrests took place after scuffles erupted and some demonstrators reportedly threw stones.
The group has several actions planned for Berlin during the weekend, including a blockade of the German Federal Labour and Social Affairs Ministry. The Blockupy movement accuses the Ministry, headed by the Social Democratic Party of Germany's (SPD) Andrea Nahles, of promoting the politics of exploitation, social division and exclusion, specifically in reference to the country's refugee integration laws.
A large contingent of police from different areas of the country are expected in Berlin, since the last major Blockupy protest in Frankfurt in March 2015 ended up in violent clashes between around 4,000 protesters and police.
