Berlin clears homeless in government area
German authorities are preparing to evacuate a homeless camp underneath a bridge in Berlin, near the temporary residence of the German President, due to heightened security measures during the visit of UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. The evacuation, carried out by police forces accompanied by sanitation services, was conducted in response to security requirements, as the camp was located less than 100 meters from the residence. The presence of tents and belongings there is believed to complicate security checks during official guest receptions and pose a threat, especially given the potential use of the area for smuggling weapons or explosives. The evacuation was not requested as a protocol measure but was based on an security assessment, with local authorities evaluating additional procedures to prevent the camp from re-establishing. This has sparked a debate over the balance between protecting high-profile guests and ensuring humane treatment for the homeless, particularly since the residence will frequently host prominent figures.
