Dozens of demonstrators called for the resignation of Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner in front of the FDP office in Berlin-Mitte.
Under the motto “Lindner out. Redistribution now.” According to a dpa photographer, several dozen people gathered early on Wednesday evening to accuse the FDP politician of unjust policies.
“We know the problem is far bigger than Christian Lindner, but at this moment he is a huge problem,” the organizers wrote on Facebook in the run-up to the meeting. According to a police spokesman, the demonstration was peaceful, but he did not initially provide information about the number of participants.
Signs with inscriptions such as “We can’t afford a Porsche minister” referred to headlines from the recent past about an allegedly very close substantive exchange between Porsche boss Oliver Blume and Lindner.
But the demonstrators’ signs also included topics such as the 9-euro ticket, financial aid for the needy and the demand for an excess profit tax for companies profiting from the energy crisis.
