Germans Protest European Austerity Measures
By RHEA WESSEL and JACK EWING

FRANKFURT — Protesters set cars on fire and clashed with police officers on Wednesday as they marched toward the European Central Bank’s new headquarters in a demonstration against austerity and capitalism that took on a markedly more heated tone than past protests.

Reading this report you wouldn't get any idea that the main protest involved 20,000 people from all over Germany on a working day. All the reports in the bourgeois media have concentrated on the actions of a small minority - and there are also plausible allegations that agents provocateurs, particularly from militant Nazi groups, were involved in at least some of the actions.

Here is a more balanced consideration of the events and a discussion of the tasks facing activists: http://left-flank.org/2015/03/20/frankfurt-2015-anti-capitalism-makes-a-comeback/
