Munich Allows Roger Waters Concert To Go Ahead
The city of Munich has decided not to ban a May 21 concert by Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, who has been accused of anti-Semitism.
The city said on Wednesday that for legal reasons it is not possible to terminate the contract. Waters had threatened legal action if the concerts were cancelled.
Instead, the city will set up signs around the concert venue calling for international understanding, condemning anti-Semitism and supporting both Israel’s right to exist and the sovereignty of Ukraine.
Mayor Dieter Reiter said it was “unspeakable and intolerable” to allow a performance by an artist who is relatively certain to spout propaganda critical of Israel, and in some cases clearly anti-Semitic slogans.
“I don’t want him here but we have to put up with it now,” Reiter said.
