Demonstration against mandatory military service - Kindergarten in the Bundestag defaced

In the heart of Berlin, a protest action against conscription took place on Tuesday evening, causing a stir at the kindergarten of the Bundestag. Three men, aged 17, 19, and 20, were seen protesting with cardboard signs in front of the kindergarten.

During the protest, the building north of the Paul-Löbe-House was splashed with red vegetable juice. A slogan critical of conscription was left behind at the scene. The operation of the kindergarten was not disrupted by the action.

The state protection department of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office is investigating this incident as a case of criminal damage with a political background. The investigation is also looking into whether any of the three protesters were involved in vandalizing the Bundestag kindergarten.

An administrative offense procedure for the unannounced assembly has been initiated. However, no further details about the identities or motives of the protesters have been disclosed in the current paragraph.

In a positive turn of events, a cleaning company was able to completely remove the paint from the house facade and the sidewalk, ensuring that the kindergarten could operate without any hindrance.

It is important to note that the search results do not provide the name of any suspect specifically investigated in connection with the injury to the daycare building of the Bundestag. The police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward and assist in the investigation.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of peaceful protests and the responsibility that comes with expressing political views in a democratic society. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
