Thousands Protest Against German COVID-19 Restrictions

• Zero Hedge

Demonstrators were seen in Konstanz, a city on Lake Constance, in southern Germany, on Saturday and Sunday, were displeased by Chancellor Angela Merkel's new restrictions to limit the size of gatherings. 

"We want to act regionally, specifically and purposefully, rather than shutting down the whole country again - this must be prevented at all costs," Merkel told a virtual news conference on Tuesday. 

Merkel said she wants to avoid a full national lockdown as infection numbers are rising again in Europe's largest economy. The lockdown from earlier this year crushed Germany's economy into the worst recession on record, decimating small and medium-sized businesses.
