Police clash with protesters against virus measures in Germany

Who are the "counter-protesters"?

Probably undercover police.

In Berlin, some 1,800 police officers were on standby for possible riots, but only about 500 protesters assembled at the city's landmark Brandenburg Gate. Meanwhile, around 1,000 citizens came together on Berlin's Unter den Linden boulevard to protest against the far-right demonstration.

And tens of thousands gathered on K-dam to shop, like good Germans do on Saturdays.

Why does the media claim that any political protest it doesn’t like is “far right?”
