Follow-up within a fortnight span
A planned demonstration by the "Siegfried Borchardt Friendship Circle" is causing a stir in the city of Münster, Germany, next Saturday, July 19th. The event, which will take place under the motto "No Ban Stops Black-White-Red," has received criticism from various quarters, including the local CDU politician Richard-Michael Halberstadt and the alliance "No Meter for Nazis."
The demonstration, which is expected to follow the same route as the previous march, will start at the main station and proceed via Hafenstraße towards Ludgerikreisel and back. The Far-right party "Die Heimat" from Dortmund is also expected to participate.
Several bus routes will be diverted throughout the day due to the demonstration, and the city administration has already informed about the diversions for bus traffic that will be in effect. The Federal Police have issued a general order for Münster Central Station, banning dangerous objects such as weapons, knives, clubs, irritants, and glass bottles. Strong forces will be deployed in the station itself, and short-term closures may occur.
The sale of glass bottles remains permitted, but they must be immediately removed from the station area. This measure has been criticised by the alliance "No Meter for Nazis" in a press release, particularly the far-reaching barriers that severely restricted public life in the station district for hours.
There is growing displeasure in Münster about the regular impairments for residents, hotel guests, and business owners around the main station. Pressure from politics and the population is growing for authorities to strengthen protective measures for affected residents and businesses. No-parking zones have been established in the area of Hafenstraße and surrounding streets for the demonstration.
Counter-demonstrations have been announced by the alliance "No Meter for Nazis" and private individuals. The city has set up a citizen's telephone for citizens to direct their questions and concerns about the assemblies directly to the police at the number 0251/275-1112.
The repeated appearance of right-wing extremist groups in Münster has posed challenges for the city administration, police, and civil society. The city works have been working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of all citizens during the demonstration.
In recent years, Münster has become a hotbed of political activism, with a growing number of demonstrations and protests taking place. The city is no stranger to controversy, but the planned demonstration by the "Siegfried Borchardt Friendship Circle" has sparked particular concern due to its potential to incite violence and division.
As the city gears up for the event, residents, businesses, and tourists alike are bracing themselves for potential disruptions. It remains to be seen how the demonstration will unfold, but one thing is certain: Münster will be a city on edge next Saturday.
The planned demonstration by the "Siegfried Borchardt Friendship Circle" next Saturday in Münster fall under the general news category, given its potential to cause division and incite violence. The involvement of the Far-right party "Die Heimat" from Dortmund in this demonstration raises concerns in the realm of crime and justice.
The city administration's decision to divert bus routes, establish no-parking zones, and set up protective measures for the event is a reflection of ongoing war-and-conflicts and political discussions surrounding the demonstration. Counter-demonstrations announced by various groups highlight the ongoing debates and disputes regarding politics in Münster.
