BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 29: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (C), nephew of former U.S. President John F. 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. City authorities had banned the planned protest, citing the flouting of social distancing by participants in a similar march that drew at least 17,000 people a few weeks ago, but a court overturned the ban.
