Kennedy, greets people from a wide spectrum, including coronavirus skeptics, conspiracy enthusiasts, right-wing extremists, religious conservatives, hippies and others gathered under the Victory Column in the city center to hear speeches during a protest against coronavirus-related restrictions and government policy as Michael Ballweg (L), founder of the Querdenker movement, looks on on August 29, 2020 in Berlin, Germany.
