Even in pouring rain, anti-fascist and local initiatives as well as numerous residents of Hohenschönhausen gathered at the rally. They had come to protest against a neo-Nazi clique that has been carrying out arson attacks on residential buildings in the neighborhood for a year and a half for racist reasons. The rally was viewed critically by a large group of plainclothes officers from the Berlin LKA, among others. Even in times of racist attacks, for police authorities the enemy seems to be on the left. „It’s already burned several times at my place,“ reports a resident, personal belongings in the basement have also come to harm. Other residents stand by and nod. Most of them live near Prerower Platz, but a few people from Alt-Hohenschönhausen have also come. They are angry about all the damage that has been done to their homes and would like to see reactions from property managers and politicians. Ultimately, the costs caused by the fires would be passed on to the tenants. This upsets many.
