Hamburg, Germany: Scores of people took to the streets in Hamburg as a neo-Nazi demonstration drew a larger counter-demonstration.
In another part of the city, clashes broke out between left-wingers and police.
Many people gathered at the central rally on City Hall Square, under the slogan “Hamburg shows its true colours.”
The Neo-Nazi parade, called “The day of the German Future”, was held at the same time, with police expecting an estimated 1,000 participants, Aljazeera reported.
Leftists set fire to barricades and use pyrotechnics, bottles and stones to attack police and the far-right demonstrators.
Police stepped in and surrounded about 700 counter-protesters who had set up barricades to prevent a neo-Nazi march from passing.
Police used water cannons after some of the protesters threw stones and fireworks at them, police officials said.
One participant tweeted: “At Eilbeker road 500-700 anti-fascists are making the streets unpassable 4 big barricades.”
