In the annual German satirical parade, floats depicted controversial scenes including Trump waving a Nazi Stars and Stripes, Putin in a compromising pose with the head of the Russian church, and Hamas pushing families in front of Israeli tanks. Other floats targeted global issues such as the war between Israel and Hamas, the Ukrainian president's desire to join NATO, and criticism of media and political figures. The parade featured 8000 participants in 85 groups and 110 floats, designed by Germany's leading carnival float designer, Jacques Tilly. Millions of revellers celebrated carnival for Rose Monday, with schools closed so children could attend the popular street parades featuring floats, brass bands, and dance groups throwing candy, chocolates, and flowers to the spectators.
