Left-wing activists demonstrated on Reicheninsel for the redistribution of wealth. The alliance “who has, who gives” called for this.
Sylt – With a march across the North Sea island of Sylt, which is particularly popular with the wealthy, left-wing activists demonstrated on Saturday for more social justice. According to police estimates, around 400 mostly young people took part in the protest.
The organizers themselves spoke of around 500 participants. According to the information, the march from Westerland to Kampen went peacefully until the afternoon. The demonstrators’ train started around 2:30 p.m. with a delay of about an hour. The police had a visible presence on the island.
The alliance “who has, who gives” had called for the action to reinforce demands for a redistribution of wealth. “On Sylt, the rich cheer for achievements that they have not made and inherit money that they have not earned,” says the appeal published on the Internet. Elsewhere, the level of poverty is at a record high, and the rapidly rising prices are driving more and more people into existential fear.
It was not until the beginning of July that the island was back in the limelight with the wedding of Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) on Sylt. At that time, a group of punks had arrived with the aim of disrupting the celebration. But according to the police, they had chosen the wrong hotel for their loud protest. dpa
