New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is headed to Hamburg, Germany on Saturday to be a keynote speaker at a demonstration against President Donald Trump’s policies and the growth of right-wing populist movements in Europe.
The trip, disclosed by the mayor’s press office in a 4:15 p.m. update to the mayor’s schedule, provided few details other than planned visits to Berlin and Hamburg. De Blasio will participate in a demonstration organized by a group calling itself “Hamburg Zeigt Haltung,” or Hamburg Shows Attitude, coinciding with Trump’s attendance at the G-20 meeting.
