- Germany’s celebrated its 32nd Unity Day on Monday.
- Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived at the ceremony in Erfurt, the capital of the eastern state of Thuringia, looking gaunt and pale after recently recovering from COVID-19.
- A strong police presence meant that signs of protest were limited, though some thousands of demonstrators had indicated their desire to march in other cities in Thuringia to demand an end to the skyrocketing consumer costs as well as the end of the war in Ukraine.
