Thousands of Germans rally against 'trade' deals on eve of Obama's visit –A mock coffin lay on the ground emblazoned with the words 'Democracy killed by money' and 'Here lies democracy'. | 23 April 2016 | Thousands of opponents of a proposed transatlantic trade corporate takeover deal poured onto German streets today on the eve of a visit by US President Barack Obama.
