Corona demo in Frankfurt: Police dissolve meeting after violations.
Water cannons are also used against counter-demonstrators.
Frankfurt (Main) - Even after weeks of
demonstrations
, there remains
an insoluble dilemma for people who
want to demonstrate
against
Corona requirements
.
The opponents of
distance
rules
and the
mask requirement
should adhere to such requirements -
especially
during the demonstration.
In
Frankfurt am Main
the alliance “
lateral thinking 69
” had
announced
a
demonstration
against the measures of the
federal government
for Saturday
.
2000 participants were registered.
In the afternoon, the organization tweeted a video of a demonstration in which people were walking through the pedestrian zone from a long distance.
Occasionally, face masks can even be seen.
You are amazing!

Lateral thinking demo in Frankfurt: train through the old town stopped several times
The train started at the main station with several hundred participants, according to the dpa.
So initially there were significantly fewer than the 2000 participants registered by the organizers.
After the chairman of the meeting was asked several times to communicate the hygiene requirements, apparently not all participants adhered to them.
The train was stopped several times by the police.
The final rally was also apparently canceled due to violations of the conditions.
According to the dpa, water cannons were used to clear the Rathenauplatz.
Lateral thinking demonstration in Frankfurt: Police use water cannons against demonstrators
Meanwhile, counter-demonstrators had gathered all over Frankfurt.
They obviously wanted to get in the way of the train.
As the police announced on Twitter, water cannons were also used to clear the street for the train of “lateral thinkers”.
Since the request to clear the blocked route was not complied with, the water cannon had to be used again.
Meanwhile, there are also attacks on police forces.

This action triggers protests on social networks.
"Can I assume that the non-wearing of MNS by the unconventional thinkers will NOT be seen as an attack on police officers by the Frankfurt police?
And if so, why not? ”Wrote a woman on Twitter.
Can I assume that the non-wearing of MNS by the lateral thinkers will NOT be seen as an attack on police officers by the Frankfurt police?
And if so: why not?
