On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Karl Marx, a monument to the philosopher "dictatorship of the proletariat" and "capital" took place in Germany on Saturday, despite protests from demonstrators.
In the German city of Trier, the birthplace of Marx near the border with France and Luxembourg, a ceremony was unveiled in which the statue of this German philosopher was raised at a height of 5.5 meters, in the presence of about 1500 people.
The statue, which came from a gift from China, shows Karl Marx with his famous beard in a coat and is preparing to take a step forward.
The ceremony was attended by relatives of the philosopher, among them French sociologist Fredrik Lungi-Marx, as well as the new president of the German Social Democratic Party Andrea Nahles.
"The Social Democratic Party, of course, has long been a party with a Marxist vision, but Marx and its concepts are still part of its political base," Nahles said.
Several anti-communist associations and parties considered the initiative "a gift from China" unacceptable from "tyrannical dictatorship". Dozens of members of the Union of Communist Victims' Groups demonstrated behind a banner showing Marx above human skulls.
For his part, the far-right party of the far-right Germany in east Germany organized a silent march to denounce the "glorification of Marx," calling for the removal of his monument.
On the other hand, the German Communist Party and the leftist party called for the commemoration of Karl Marx, raising the motto of "Workers of the World Unite", a reminder of Marx and Engels' famous slogan in the Communist Manifesto.
On Saturday, March 5, 1818, the birth of the author of "Capital" was opened. The city authorities were renovating the house.
In the coming months, Trier will organize 600 events, concerts, plays and seminars to commemorate this famous German thinker.
