Protests Erupt Over Secret Martin Sellner Event in Berlin

The far-right figure's lecture in Wilmersdorf sparked a strong response from demonstrators, with clashes reported outside the venue.

Around 100 people gathered to protest against a lecture by far-right activist Martin Sellner in Berlin's Wilmersdorf district on Thursday evening.
The event's location was kept secret until the last minute, with Sellner's group misleading the restaurant owner about the nature of their gathering.
Clashes occurred outside the venue between Sellner's supporters and counter-protesters, with reports of pepper spray being used before police arrived.
The restaurant owner expressed feeling deceived, stating he was unaware of the political nature of the event and would not have rented the space had he known.
Sellner, a prominent figure in the Identitarian Movement, has faced protests during previous appearances in Germany due to his promotion of extremist ideologies.
