Despite the legal ban, “lateral thinkers” want to protest against the Corona measures in Kassel. The police are preparing. All news in the live ticker.
- For Saturday (June 19, 2021), three urgent requests for a demo of the “lateral thinkers” in Kassel * were legally prohibited.
- The “lateral thinkers” still want to come and protest against the Corona * measures.
- The police have already cordoned off large areas of the city center.
Kassel – A total of three planned major events against the corona measures in Kassel have been registered for Saturday (June 19, 2021). However, shortly beforehand these were finally banned by the administrative court. Since some “lateral thinkers” had announced that they would come anyway, the police are preparing accordingly.
The city center around Friedrichsplatz and the town hall have been cordoned off since Saturday morning. A large number of police and a few ambulances are on site. In addition, the mask requirement in the city of Kassel *, which has been in force since 6 a.m., is already heavily controlled. The police are also present at the ICE train station in Bad Wilhelmshöhe. The exits of the A49 motorway are currently heavily controlled by the police. Anyone who leaves the autobahn and drives in the direction of the Auestadion will pass a police check. The vehicles with foreign license plates are waved out.
Corona demo in Kassel: police are preparing despite the ban – strong controls and closings
The floodplain around the orangery remains closed to cars for the time being. If you want to go shopping in the city center despite the heat, you can do so. Given so much police presence, it seems rather unlikely that lateral thinkers will be able to gather there today. Only two counter-demos are to take place from half past eleven on the Opernplatz and on the Altmarkt. The organizers of the Corona demo “Midsummer in Kassel” want to announce where they want to meet in the late morning despite the ban *. There is a lot to be said for the Aue and the Buga, as it was called in their Telegram groups.
The last Corona demo on March 20, 2021 in Kassel got out of hand at the time. The police couldn’t control the crowd of out-of-the-box demonstrators. In addition, numerous hygiene and distance regulations were severely disregarded. (Matthias Lohr, Florian Hagemann, Alina Schröder) * hna.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
