KPD to Protest Permit Denial

Reliable sources within the German Communist Party (KPD) confirmed plans for a public protest tomorrow of the City of Berlin's denial of a permit to hold a long anticipated march and rally on May 1st. The City cited its concerns over possible security problems and the potential for violence between the KPD and their NSDAP rivals as the reason for declining to issue the permit.

Party officials were unavailable for comment late this evening on either the permit denial or the planned demonstration, and the exact location of the protest could not be confirmed. KPD headquarters is located at the east end of Steinpfort Strasse. The demonstration is expected to begin at about 2:00pm SLT on Wednesday.

    In a statement released the morning of April 20th, the City Government elaborated upon its decision to ban any large public demonstrations planned by the KPD for May 1st. The City's statement follows in its entirety.

    "The Government has decided that the general ban on outdoors public meetings will ALSO be valid on May 1st. This ban has been law in Berlin since 1924 but recently certain groups have been spreading the rumour that people will be given permission to march the streets on that day anyway. This is NOT the case.

    Everyone has permission to gather at indoor venues for any kind of political gathering.
    There is NO excuse to be out in public demonstrating and marching on any day, especially May 1st.

    Due to these rumours the polizei have permission to strike with force against anyone breaking these rules. Remember, 3 people constitute a crowd."
