Thousands protest in Berlin against rent 'madness'

Thousands of people on Sunday rallied in Berlin to protest high rent prices after Germany's constitutional court overturned Berlin's rent cap, leaving tenants across the city suddenly facing price hikes. Some 2,500 people gathered under the slogan "Stop the rent madness!" moved from Potsdamer Platz to the neighborhood of Schöneberg, marching along Potsdamer and Martin-Luther streets to Nollendorf Square, carrying banners such as "To reside is a human right" and "No interest on rents."
