ANGELA MERKEL is wary after thousands of furious Germans joined an anti-lockdown protest, as similar protests continue to intensify across the European Union.

Angela Merkel is under fire after thousands of Germans turned out for rallies taking place across the country to protest against the Chancellor’s lockdown orders. German police arrested dozens in Berlin on Saturday after the protesters there flouted the lockdown measures they were demonstrating against. Both left-wing and right-wing protesters criticised Mrs Merkel’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with slogans accusing Chancellor Angela Merkel of “banning life”.

Around 180 police officers were scrambled to the event, which ended with more than 100 people arrested. 

Police officials cracked down on protesters, urging them to disperse after explaining that the gathering “was not in line with the rules”.

The German capital is now under emergency laws that ban gatherings of more than 20 people.

The protesters’ website called for “an end to the state of emergency” since Germany has one of the fewest death tolls for the virus.
