Germany's Scholz: grateful for street protests against racism, hate speech

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday he was grateful that tens of thousands of people were taking to the streets across the country, taking a stand against racism and hate speech, and showing support for democracy.

"That gives us courage and shows that we democrats are many - many more than those who want to divide," Scholz said on social media platform X. (Writing by Madeline Chambers Editing by Miranda Murray)
