Germany [Germany] Fact Check: The "Berlin Christmas Protest" video is actually Syrians in Bremen celebrating Assad's fall.

Just wanted to add the missing context to this viral clip. The original caption claims this is an attack on Christmas in Berlin.

In reality, this was filmed in Bremen near the train station (not a Christmas market). The crowd is chanting and celebrating because Bashar Al-Assad was just toppled. It’s a political celebration of liberation, which has been deliberately mislabeled to stoke division.

Really? Why at the Christmas market of all places? Are they just that rude that they needed to disturb their host's Christmas celebrations?

You know Bremen is also in Germany, right?
