BERLIN (AA) – German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was booed and jeered by pro-Palestinian protesters at a weekend event in the capital Berlin over the government's support for Israel.
Footage shared on social media showed several people interfering with a presentation by Baerbock at the Democracy Festival held on Sunday to mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the country’s constitution.
Some attendees shouted angrily and waved banners, disrupting her speech.
They accused the German government of bias and demanded that it immediately halt arms shipments to Israel.
Reports in the German media also said that a woman among the protesters who claimed to be Jewish shouted: "There is no freedom of thought in Germany after Israel's attacks on Gaza!"
The protesters were later escorted out of the venue by security personnel.
