10,000 people were at the last Corona demo in Munich - many of them without a mask.
Today “lateral thinking 089” demonstrates again on the Theresienwiese.
For November 1st, the initiative
"lateral thinking 089" has
again registered a
corona demo
in Munich.
Already on September 12th, around
10,000 people
demonstrated against the conditions
on the
Theresienwiese
.
Now a trick is supposed to help against the city's strict requirements: the organizers want to hold the demo as a church service.
Update from November 1, 10:32 p.m.:
The
large demo
in Munich against the
corona measures
had to be
broken
up
by the
police
around
6:55
p.m.
Although the organizers announced that there would be no rally but a church service, such was neither announced nor accompanied by a
hygiene concept
, according to the Munich police.
Today we are on duty with a total of around 1000 officers.

When the event turned more and more into a
loud concert
, especially in terms of volume (All Saints' Day is a silent holiday), the police finally intervened.
Since the organizer did not show understanding, the event had to be ended, so the police.
For a short time,
1,900 people took
part in the event of the
“lateral thinking 089”
initiative
.
Some of them violated the
mask requirement
, there were occasional reports.
Update from November 1, 4:59 p.m .:
"This is not about freedom of assembly, this is about a church service," said a particularly shrewd speaker on the
Theresienwiese
on Sunday
before he called on the participants in the Munich demonstration against the corona measures to pray to him.
Why do the organizers of the
Munich demonstration
against the Corona measures
want to turn
their rally into a
service
?
Quite simply,
there is
no maximum number of participants for
outdoor church services
in
Bavaria
.
According to the
police in Munich
, everything remained peaceful at the beginning of the demonstration, around 1,700 people had already gathered on the Theresienwiese.
Crosses, coffins with wreaths of flowers and Germany flags were set up
on the stage, where
TV priest Jürgen Fliege
was also expected to speak

Most recently, the organizers of the
“lateral thinking 089” initiative
failed
when attempting to
register
5000 demonstrators
.
Two courts upheld the city's restrictions on
1,000 participants
.
(vs)
Update from November 1, 2:55 p.m
.: Even one instance higher did not bring the lateral thinkers anything.
The Bavarian Administrative Court (VGH) has confirmed the requirements of the city of Munich for a demonstration against the Corona measures on Sunday.
This means that the following still applies: only 1000 demonstrators, only on the Theresienwiese and it will end at 9 p.m. at the latest.
Jürgen Fliege is allowed to come anyway.
Update from November 1st:
Under strict conditions, up to 1000 “lateral thinkers” will protest on Theresienwiese today.
Among other things, ex-TV pastor
Jürgen Fliege has
announced that he will be a speaker.
The demo should go from 4.30 p.m. and no later than 9 p.m.
Update from October 31, 10:45 p.m.:
The
Munich Administrative
Court has
rejected
urgent requests from opponents of the Corona measures against the city's requirements for the
demonstration
planned on Sunday
.
The court announced this late on Saturday evening.
The alliance "
lateral thinking 089
" went to court to lift the limit of 1000 participants at the demonstration on Sunday, but was unsuccessful.
Corona demo in Munich: administrative court rejects urgent applications
"If the number of participants exceeds 1000, a
violation of the applicable infection protection measures is to be expected,
" the court decided.
In addition, the administrative court confirmed the decision of the state capital that a
mask requirement
applies
to the participants
as well as the prohibition of the feeder meeting between Königsplatz and Theresienwiese.
The alliance can lodge a complaint with the Bavarian Administrative Court against the resolutions.
Update from October 30th, 6:07 p.m
.: The
demo
planned on Sunday
against the Corona rules
(see original
message )
may only
take place
under
strict conditions
.
The
district administration department (KVR)
limited the requested number of participants on the Wiesn site from
5000
to
1000
.
The
star march to the
Theresienwiese
planned
by the organizers
“lateral thinking 089”
was prohibited.
Stationary demos with 200 participants each are permitted
at four
decentralized
locations.
The
rally
on the Wiesn site is scheduled to
begin
at
4.30
p.m.
The leader of the meeting, a
retired police officer
, was rejected by the city because he had repeatedly
denied
the validity of the
Basic Law
.
The "lateral thinkers" want to have the restrictions checked in court.
The administrative court will rule on any
urgent motion
on Saturday
.
In comparable cases, the judiciary had confirmed the city's position.
Only in September did the Administrative Court lift the restriction on the number of participants.
At that time the infection rate was still
moderate
.
After the lockdown announcement: Thousands of participants in the Corona demo in Munich?
Police are preparing for large-scale operations
Original report from October 29th
: Munich - From Monday
Munich
* will be back in
lockdown mode
.
Prime Minister
Markus Söder (CSU)
even wants to declare a
disaster
for Bavaria.
That doesn't suit everyone.
The initiative
“lateral thinking 089”
is planning a demonstration against the
Corona measures
on Sunday
.
A star march is planned that will start at
2:30 p.m.
from Karlsplatz, Königsplatz, Wittelsbacherplatz, Stadelheimer Straße, Sendlinger Tor and Sendlinger Park.

take place
on the
Theresienwiese

.
Corona demo in Munich: Last time the KVR only allowed 1000 participants
However, the size of the demonstration has not yet been determined.
The
district administration department (KVR)
does not want to make a decision until Friday.
A KVR spokesman said on Thursday: "The usual cooperation talks are underway." Which will probably not bring a satisfactory result for the lateral thinkers ...
On their Facebook page it was already read on Thursday: “This time, too, the KVR would like to reduce the number of participants.” The regulatory authority only admitted 1000 people at the last demo in mid-September.
The restriction was then
lifted
by the Bavarian Administrative
Court
in the
second instance
.
Ultimately,
10,000 people
gathered
on the Theresienwiese
on September 12
to demonstrate
against the
Corona *
rules
.
Many of them did not wear a
mask
*.

It
is very likely
that the
judiciary will have
the final say
this time
too.
"We will go to the courts again and claim our basic rights," announce the organizers.
The lateral thinking initiative campaigns for an end to the Corona emergency and “the full restoration of basic rights”.
There is "no plausible reason to continue to scare people".
For Sunday, the lateral thinkers call for funeral marches "in silent memory of our beloved Basic Law".
The announcement for the demo states: "We ask everyone to wear appropriate mourning clothing and bring a grave light."
The police are preparing for a major operation on Sunday.
1,500 officers were called up in September.
