Rising unemployment across Europe and beyond has added intensity to May Day marches as last year's market crash and banking meltdown roll into the real economy. There were fierce clashes in Berlin on Friday evening and protests in Istanbul swiftly turned violent. Greek police clashed with anarchists. Demonstrations in France and Spain appeared largely peaceful. In the German capital, left-wing militants pelted riot police with stones, bottles and firecrackers in the most severe May Day violence to hit the city in four years. The attacks by about 400 militants on police accompanying a protest of about 5,000 leftists in the central district of Kreuzberg, a traditional hotbed of anarchist violence on Labor Day, was unusually fierce and began before darkness fell. "There are people out in the streets protesting peacefully against the economic crisis and there is nothing wrong with that," said police spokesman Frank Miller. "But when people burn cars and trash containers and commit other criminal acts -- that has nothing to do with political protests." One group of protesters in central Berlin pelted the Finance Ministry building with brightly colored paint bombs. Earlier, there were clashes in Hamburg and outbreaks of violence in Ulm, Dortmund, Mainz and Verden. In the southern city of Ulm, left-wing militants threw bottles and stones at a march of about 1,000 neo-Nazis after police were unable to keep them apart. Ulm officials said 29 riot police were injured, one seriously, and 21 demonstrators were hurt. Turkish riot police fired water cannon and tear gas, firing shots and pepper spray to disperse masked protesters. Young men hurled stones and Molotov cocktails, smashing bank and shop windows in side streets. An Istanbul police spokesman said 68 demonstrators were detained and 11 police wounded. Leftists and Kurdish separatists regularly clash with police at demonstrations in Turkey and the May Day protest last year also turned violent. Turkey's government had declared May Day, traditionally marked by rallies by labor unions, a public holiday this year under pressure from the unions. "Those who are here are unemployed and need work," said Mehmet Guleryuz, a film director. "These are students who cannot pay tuition fees. Things are bad everywhere but it hits Turkey hard." Almost one in three young people in Turkey is without a job and the government fears social unrest and increased ethnic tension because of the downturn. Labor unions, traditionally weak, have become increasingly vocal. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
