y on Monday to celebrate Carnival dressed up in colorful costumes, amid an abundance of candy, flowers and alcohol. According to Assosicted Press popular street parades in traditional Carnival strongholds such as Cologne, Duesseldorf and Mainz in the Rhineland drew huge crowds of locals and tourists alike. Schools were closed in many regions in the west so children could join the parades. Many of the processions showcased floats that addressed global political topics with biting sarcasm. Nineteen floats including those depicting world leaders were paraded through the western German city of Cologne as part of the Rose Monday parade. One float showed US President Donald Trump balancing the globe on his outstretched middle finger and putting the Statue of Liberty and Justitia on a chain. Another entitled “Love greetings from Moscow” shows AfD chancellor candidate Alice Weidel and BSW party chairwoman Sahra Wagenknecht sitting in a suitcase filled with money from Putin. Last week, Germany's Catholic Church sharply criticized a carnival float made for the parade that linked Jesus with the church abuse scandal. The float, which was unveiled on Tuesday last week, shows an altar boy in front of a confessional with an arm sticking out and an outstretched hand luring the boy inside. On the side of the confessional, bold letters read “Jesus loves you.” The Cologne archdiocese condemned the float as “tasteless.” http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13 https://twitter.com/Kanal13Az https://www.instagram.com/kanal13.az Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan Tags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen
