Trade Union May Day Demonstration In Berlin, Germany

A banner of the German left party Die Linke reads ''Miet-Abzocke stoppen! Mieten-Mafia schuldet uns 22 Millionen Euro Miete - jeden Monat. Wir machen Berlin bezahlbar. Die Linke'' [Stop rent rip-offs! The rent mafia owes us 22 million euros in rent - every month. We're making Berlin affordable. Die Linke], with another banner in the background reading ''Keine Waffen fur Volkermord'' [No weapons for genocide] at the May Day demonstration organized by the DGB trade union in Berlin, Germany, on May 1, 2026. This year's slogan is ''Erst unsere Jobs, dann eure Profite'' [Our jobs first, your profits second]. Protests and demonstrations, accompanied by a heavy police presence, are taking place across the city today. (Photo by Tonny Linke/NurPhoto)
