Demonstrators against Covid-19 restrictions in Germany have been denounced by politicians after an attempt  to storm the country's parliament building. Some of the protestors carried the former imperial flag, which was used up until the end of the first world war, during the rally on Saturday.
Police said about 38,000 people, double the number expected, had gathered in Berlin to protest against restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus, such as the wearing of masks and social distancing. About 300 were arrested after scuffles with police in front of the building.
'Flags from the Reich and far-right profanity in front of the German parliament are an unacceptable attack on the heart of our democracy,' the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said. 'We will never accept this'
