Germany Marks Unity Day With Events In Dresden

DRESDEN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 03: Bundestag President Norbert Lammert speaks during celebrations to mark German Unity Day at the Semperoper opera house on October 3, 2016 in Dresden, Germany. Outside a crowd of several hundred chanted "Merkel muss weg!" ("Merkel must go!"), in reference to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and "Volksverraeter!" ("Traitor of the people!"). Unity Day, called Tag der Deutschen Einheit, commemorates German reunification of East and West Germany following the end of the Cold War. This year's celebrations are being accompanied by protests from both left and right-wing groups, notably the anti-Muslim and anti-immigration Pegida movement, which has its roots in Dresden, as well as extraordinary security measures by police.
