The G8 summit in Heiligendamm near Rostock from June 6 to 8 is approaching fast. Following announcements that demonstrations around the event area would be prohibited in advance, Chancellor Merkel was led by Russian President Putin during a discussion on the freedom of demonstration to state that peaceful activities are tolerated in Germany at any time, including during the G8.
