The artist wears a long leather jacket and gloves with a Nazi-like red armband featuring crossed hammers instead of a swastika.
German police have opened a criminal case and launched an investigation against the former member of the English band Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, who supports the war in Ukraine. The Jewish News reported it.
In particular, at a concert in Berlin, the 79-year-old musician appeared on stage in a black uniform with a Nazi-like red armband and simulated the execution of the audience from a prop machine.
“The context of the clothing is considered as endorsing, glorifying or justifying the violent and arbitrary rule of the Nazi regime in a way that violates the dignity of the victims and thus disrupts public peace. After completing the investigation, the case will be transferred to the Berlin prosecutor’s office for legal assessment,” the police said.
However, the scandal was not limited to clothing. From the stage, the artist compared the death of Palestinian journalist Al Jazeera Shirin Abu Akleh to the death of the young Jewish girl Anne Frank, who was killed during the Holocaust.
In turn, Waters said that the last performance in Berlin provoked unfounded attacks from those who did not support his political views.
“The elements discussed in my performance are the sadness of fascism, the prevailing injustice and racism in all its forms. wrote he’s on Twitter.
Earlier it was reported that Roger Waters, speaking at the UN Security Council, said that Russia was provoked to attack Ukraine.
The founder of Pink Floyd wrote an open letter to Putin
