The city of Nuremberg has developed into a real demonstration stronghold over the past months and years.
This year there were already 131.
Nuremberg
- The sunny, warm weather of the past few days in Bavaria attracted numerous people outside.
It's no different in the Franconian metropolis of Nuremberg *.
With the spring-like temperatures, the demonstrations also increase.
Nuremberg has developed into a hotspot over the past few months.
Nuremberg: The number of demonstrations has risen sharply in recent years
According to the city administration, 621 demonstrations took place in 2020.
And that, although due to the Corona situation *, events were at times completely canceled.
“In April there were no demonstrations at all because of the pandemic,” said Olaf Kuch, head of the Nuremberg City Citizens Service *.
155 demos were related to Corona * in the past year.
In comparison, there were only 524 demonstrations in 2019, and only 440 in 2018. This year, 131 gatherings have already been reported, 69 of which were corona-related.
Kuch assured once again that even a restriction on the freedom to demonstrate would involve enormous hurdles.
In general, demonstrations do not have to be approved.
All he has to do is report it.
This is possible up to two days before the event at the Nuremberg Public Order Office.
In a general decree, the city issued restrictions on demos in the past due to the corona infection *.
For example, no more than 200 participants were allowed and the event could not last longer than an hour.
"Incidentally, these regulations have already been challenged in court and have even been suspended in individual cases," confirmed Kuch.
