Protesters to hold Berlin demo over final Brexit referendum

Volt Europa has teamed up with Pulse of Europe and British in Germany to stage the protest. 

It’s being held to coincide with the Let us Be Heard People's Vote march taking place in London on the same day, which is calling for a second referendum to let voters have a final say on any agreed deal, and whether or not to leave the EU.

The demo, which will include speeches and solidarity singing, will take place on the corner of Unter den Linden and Wilhelmstraße, where the British Embassy is located, in central Berlin from 10am until 12noon. 

Rachel Riesner-Marriott, a volunteer with British in Germany who has lived in Berlin for nearly eight years, told The Local the gathering was happening in solidarity with those marching in London. 

“And to ask both the EU and the British Government to ringfence our rights, particularly if this deal is not passed,” added Riesner-Marriott. “It’s been three years of sitting in limbo waiting to find out what’s going to happen. 

“We will be making our voice heard and hoping London listens. That’s why we are taking to the streets tomorrow.”
