What!? ROGACKI, a West Berlin institution and popular Butcher/Fishmonger/Restaurant/snack bar, on Wilmersdorfer Straße is bankrupt and the entire staff has already been let go. It is no more (and hundreds of thousands of animals are breathing a sigh of relief).

At least the Berlin cops don't discriminate in one thing: banning protests. The swimming in the Spree protest was banned because: too risky.
That is literally the argument they're having. 🤦
Mayor Kai Wegner's (CDU) trademark project is simplifying bureaucracy in Berlin. And how? By creating a committee to decide whether boroughs or the city-state is responsible for performing certain tasks.
Fighingt bureaucracy with bureaucracy. 🤦🏽♀️
