Hundreds of protesters – including Americans living abroad – took to the streets across major European cities in a show of defiance against Donald Trump’s administration. Protesters rallied in Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris, London and Lisbon, all in a united show of opposition against Trump’s policies.
Jamie Raskin, the Democratic representative of Maryland, addressed the crowd in Washington DC, saying: “We’ve got the right to protest for what is right without being arrested, deported or fired. We’ve got the right to read the books we want … We’ve even got the right to call the president deranged from crashing our economy, destroying $6tn of wealth … and the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico.”
Maxwell Frost, Florida’s Democratic representative, also addressed the crowd in Washington DC, saying: “This insidious rise of authoritarianism is fueled by corrupt billionaires and mega corporations who believe that they have the right to control every aspect of our lives.”
