The situation in Leipzig after the verdict against the left-wing extremist Lina E. has remained largely calm until Saturday afternoon, according to the police.

Despite the final ban on a large "Day X" demonstration, the police are present with a large contingent. The city hosts the Saxon Cup final, the city festival and a concert by Herbert Grönemeyer. There were checkpoints on access roads to the city as well as at the train station all day. The appeal to the Federal Constitutional Court against the ban on the demonstration was unsuccessful.
