USA Prevents German Orchestra from Performing on US-Mexico Border

Washington, May 22 (Prensa Latina) The United States Government has denied permission to the German Dresden Symphony Orchestra to perform on both sides of the US-Mexico border, according to local press.

The performance was scheduled for June 3 at Parque de la Amistad, an area located between the US city of San Diego and the Mexican city of Tijuana.

According to Markus Rindt, director of the German orchestra, in view of the refusal due to the security and protection of birds in this spot, this performance will be conducted in the Mexican side.

The concert was called as a cultural expression of rejection to the increase of world´s segregation, fanaticism and nationalism.

SINCE WHEN does our current government care about birds and their habitat? Our current government does not want anything supporting unity. They also know the Germans think they are stupid.

I think it is a violation of our 1st Amendment Right, not Germany's obviously. I hope a lot of US people attend and demonstrate.

Yeah, right, bird habitat. That's as believable as DT fired Comey for being mean to Hillary last year.
