Decision in court: Fridays for Future sues against the ban on demonstrations - the city does not want to move away from the decision

The Regensburg local group of Fridays for Future is suing a ban on a planned bicycle demonstration.

The lawsuit will be dealt with in an urgent procedure.

Regensburg - Fridays for Future goes to court in Regensburg *.

The reason: the city had previously banned a bicycle demonstration next Sunday (September 19).

The activists, together with the Verkehrsclub Deutschland, are now taking action against the decision, as reported by the

.

According to the activists' plans, the bicycle demonstration should have run over the Lappersdorfer roundabout.

The public order office forbade this, however, on the grounds that no ambulances could pass there if the whole group of cyclists were on the roundabout.

According to the

, this is an excuse for Fridays for Future: "Bicycles are - unlike cars - manoeuvrable and flexible and can swiftly evade if necessary and easily form an emergency lane." According to your previous experience, this has always worked flawlessly.

Fridays for Future Regensburg is suing the ban on demonstrations: the rally would only have lasted about 40 minutes

According to the environmentalists, the meeting would only last 30 to 40 minutes and traffic on the A93 would continue to flow normally.

Only the areas of the B15 and B16 could be bypassed by using the bypass to the east.

With the rally, Fridays for Future wanted to demonstrate against the expansion of the Lappersdorfer roundabout.

According to the demo announcement, the roundabout is “a disaster in terms of climate policy for motorized traffic.

Emissions in the transport sector continue to rise and violate the internationally binding climate protection treaty of Paris.

For a secure future on this earth and a liveable Regensburg, emissions in the transport sector must decrease quickly and significantly. "

Demand from Fridays for Future: further expand public transport in Regensburg

Instead, in the opinion of the activists, local public transport should be further expanded, cycling and walking should be encouraged, and a tram overpass should be built over the rain. This should be used in the future by the planned tram, which will thus connect Lappersdorf. As the

further reports, the northern area would be better connected and the number of car commuters could be reduced.

The local group is currently waiting for the court's decision.

That has at least once confirmed the receipt of the lawsuit, which is now to be dealt with in an urgent procedure.

So now the activists have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, the

city ​​announced, according to the

, that it will not move away from its decision to ban.
