The organization of the demonstration, which previously said 30 000 participants expected, wild Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan publicly show address via video link. The German Constitutional Court, however, held out Saturday as a stop to it. The judges were concerned that the speech could be detrimental to public order. This was another sore leg against Turkey. Minister for EU Affairs Omer Celik tweeted Sunday that the decision of the court is contrary to the freedom of expression and democratic values.
