A protest rally was held in Berlin against the actions of the German Youth Ministry

A protest rally was held in Berlin against the actions of the Jugendamt (Department for Youth Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany). Footage from the scene on May 27 is published by Izvestia.

The reason for the protest was the unfair removal of children and the destruction of families by the service staff. The protesters demand a review of the department's work, transparency of decisions and respect for the rights of parents.

Natalia, a participant in the protest, said that her daughter was forcibly taken away from detention, and she herself was subjected to violence by the police. She was accused of endangering a child and attributed a mental disorder.

"They came up with the conclusion that the husband has no right to see the child <...> After going through six trials, the child is still not returned to me," the woman noted.

Protester Davis has been living in Germany for 10 years. After his divorce from his wife, he hardly sees his seven-year-old daughter, despite a stable job and an active life. He complains about the inaction of the Jugendamt and the unclear reasons for the restriction of his parental rights.

"I do not see her at all. <..> I do not know what the Yugendamt and the court have against me," he said.

Crisis of faith: Germans leave Protestant and Catholic churches

The number of believers is rapidly decreasing

Earlier, on May 27, taxi drivers in France staged protests at the Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports in Paris, opposing planned changes in medical transportation tariffs. The protests of taxi drivers are caused by a reduction in the payment of compulsory medical transportation, as well as unfair competition with the taxi sector, in which the payment for the trip is fixed.
