Occupy brings out protesters in Germany



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Berlin wouldn't be Berlin without protesters but Occupy is also camping in front of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt as well. Germany has hardly suffered from the economic crisis as badly as other countries in Europe or in the US, but the problem is still obvious.

According to police figures, about 2,500 people rallied in Frankfurt to march on a route that took them past the headquarters of both the German national bank and the European Central Bank (ECB).

The activist group Attac, which organized the event, said at least 5,000 had attended.

Members of the Occupy Frankfurt group, which has been camped outside the ECB for the past two weeks, have said they plan to remain at the site for two more weeks.

In Berlin, some 1,000 protesters gathered outside the main city hall carrying plaques bearing the message "Occupy Berlin."
