The annual protests on May 1st International Workers' Day again brought thousands to the streets across Germany, with both left- and right-wing demos involving clashes with police. In Berlin, a left-wing demonstration called the “Revolutionary May 1st Demonstration” brought around 8,000 people to the streets. Officers used pepper spray and batons against protesters, according to broadcaster N-tv. The exact number of protesters injured was not known. About 100 to 150 right-wing protesters also gathered in Apolda, Thuringia, and police there were then attacked with stones and fireworks.
