Dorfen - There were many political actions on Saturday in Dorfen's city center, but only moderate interest in the activities: The alliance “Dorfen ist bunt” made a statement against the right on Marienplatz.
AfD Bundestag candidate Peter Junker took part in Corona protests in the shadow of the Marktkirche.
At the same time, “The Party” organized a counter rally on the Lower Market.
“We stand here to show our colors. Dorfen should remain colorful and not be dominated by right-wing extremist ideas, "said Martine Driessen, spokeswoman for" Dorfen ist bunt ". And in order to uphold democracy, added Doris Minet, former third mayor and senior representative of the city: "Dorfen should remain a democratic city, without legal influences that harm the community."
The Dorfener Bündnis, whose members are committed to democracy and human dignity, had already positioned itself at Marienplatz on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Driessen, Minet and other like-minded people were waiting for the AfD Bundestag candidate Peter Junker, who actually wanted to compete for voters at a stand on Marienplatz at the same time. Minet is of course aware that the AfD is a democratically legitimized party: “But the AfD has a different attitude.” Driessen goes even further: “This party has no democratic ideas, it questions the equality of men and women. What does she then think of people with a migration background? "
Kalle Oefele, district chairman of “The Party” is also there. Where lateral thinkers and the AfD are expected, Dorfen's political satirists usually come to protest seriously. "The AfD is a party that stirs up hatred and fear at the expense of those who are least able to defend themselves," argued the 23-year-old from Dorfen. Party friend Iris Kaiser (23) added: "The AfD advertises with inhuman content - I think it's bad that these have now become socially acceptable." Villages together.
AfD man Junker and his party friends came to Dorfen only after half past three and started campaigning at the booth opposite the Dorfen town hall.
A good hour later, a rally for children's rights in Corona times began.
Nina (she does not want to give her full name, editor's note), a doctor, emphasized that she does not belong to any party and that her statement is not politically motivated.
Your position is currently difficult, especially among colleagues.
With a voice that took getting used to, she began to sing about her “path”.
Nearby stood Junker with an AfD cap and applauded.
At the same time, “The Party” called for a protest.
Here, too, a position was taken - against the AfD and against the lateral thinkers.
There was little interest in both events.
