Several thousand demonstrators are expected in Munich - despite strict conditions.

  • The number of infections * is increasing:

    The

    partial lockdown

    will therefore also begin in

    Bavaria

    from Monday

  • Demonstrators also took

    to the streets

    at the weekend to protest

    the

    measures

  • At the

    Corona demo

    in

    Munich

    , organizers want to

    circumvent the requirements

    with a

    trick

Munich

-

All leisure activities were open for the

last time on

Sunday

before the “Lockdown light”

gastronomy

,

culture and leisure activities closed

for November - in response to the rising coronavirus numbers in Bavaria and Germany.

While the majority of

Bavarians took

to the streets in a regulated

manner

, opponents of the

partial lockdown also met

for

demonstrations

at the weekend

.

Among others in

Schweinfurt

and

Munich

.

Crosses and coffins with wreaths of flowers and flags of Germany adorned the stage on

Theresienwiese

in

Munich

.

In addition to a few speakers - among them the

television pastor Jürgen Fliege

-

1,700 people from Munich

had already

gathered

at the beginning of the

Corona demonstration

.

The initiative "

lateral thinking 089

" called for a rally.

The demonstrators wanted to protest against the federal government's tightened corona measures.

Corona demo in Munich: "Lateral thinking 089" calls for a rally - or for a church service?

More than 10,000 demonstrators gathered here as early as mid-September, many of them without a mask or distance.

There

should also be a large number

on

Sunday

too.

However

, the city of

Munich

rejected the

initiative's multiple attempts to

register

5,000 demonstrators

.

Two courts upheld the limit of

 1,000 participants

.

An organizer of the

“lateral thinking 089” demo

now

wants to defend itself

against the requirements

with a

little trick

.

"This is not about

freedom of assembly

, this is about a

church service,

" said the speaker before calling on the participants to pray with him.

Why do the organizers of the Munich demonstration against the coronavirus * measures want to turn their rally into a service?

Quite simply,

outdoor

worship services

in Bavaria do not have a limited

number of participants.

Does the pastor only talk about masks and distance at Sunday mass?


This is a political event packed into a mass!


And also advertising for Leipzig @PolizeiMuenchen can be danced around on the nose. # Muc0111 #Querdenker # lateral thinking089 #Cross-thinking pic.twitter.com/wKLWENYU2Y

Corona demos in Bavaria: Police report mask refusers in Schweinfurt

The initiative's demo was the largest, but not the only Corona *

protest

in Bavaria.

In Schweinfurt, too,

demonstrators

fought against the conditions imposed by the

police

.

About

a hundred participants

joined the citizens' initiative “Parents Stand

Up

” on Sunday to protest against the

mask requirement in downtown Schweinfurt

to demonstrate.

Because 18 participants refused this very vehemently and did not want to wear a mask even after repeated requests, the police took action.

A spokesman confirmed to the

dpa

"The size of the event was approved, but on the condition that the participants wear masks." The

mask refusers

are therefore reported for a

violation of the Assembly Act

.

A flash mob was stopped, mask refusers were reported and the demo area was expelled.

The speakers again spread rumors and conspiracy myths.

The beginning of the

demonstration in Munich

, on the other hand, should have been calm at the beginning, confirmed the police of the

German press agency

on

Sunday afternoon

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Söder swears the population to one month of renunciation

Before

Bavaria went

into

partial lockdown

on Monday

to reduce the number of infections, many were still enjoying the last few hours in the Free State's culture and leisure facilities, as well as in restaurants and cafes. From Monday, strict

contact

restrictions will

apply

: a maximum of

ten people

may come together - in private and public spaces. Unlike in the spring of the first corona lockdown,

schools, day care centers

,

hairdressers

and

universities should

remain open. (
