Germany: Campaigners to demonstrate at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, Nov. 13

Campaigners plan to demonstrate at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, from 10:00 Nov. 13. Multiple cultural campaign groups and organizations will denounce cuts in federal funding of the arts. A petition has collected nearly 100,000 supporters; it is possible that low thousands will take part in the event.

Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering. Heightened security, road closures, and increased congestion may prompt localized transport disruptions near the site. The event will likely pass off peacefully.
