Injuries as activists and police clash over Hamburg's Rote Flora center



There have been scenes of violence in Hamburg as protesters vented their anger at plans to carry out evictions at a theater. The building, home to squatters, has become a popular rallying point for activists.

Stones and bottles were thrown at police as more than 7,000 people demonstrated in Hamburg on Saturday.

Officers responded with baton charges and water cannon, breaking up the protest over the eviction of the left-wing Rote Flora cultural center.

The Rote Flora centre - a theater in the city's Schanzenviertel area - was first occupied by squatters in 1989. Since then it has become something of a rallying point for left-wing activists, with regular summer protests coinciding with a local street fair. The latest protests were sparked by the threat of eviction for those living in the theater since it was bought from local authorities by a developer.

The left-wing German Black Block is coming to Vienna each year now as well to protest the FPÖ ball that is held in Jan./Feb.

In recent years, German demonstrators from the left made up a sizeable amount of the anti-FPÖ rioters.

When the FPÖ people walk into the Hofburg for their dance, the Black Block and others shout "Nazis out !" and sometimes attack them by throwing stuff at them:

This led to HC Strache saying: "We are the new Jews".
