Protection of the Constitution warns: anti-constitutional association with several demos in Hamburg

According to information from 24hamburg.de, the anti-constitutional association UMEHR eV has again registered several meetings throughout the city for Saturday, March 12, 2022, as has already happened in the past.

UMEHR has been monitored by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution of the City of Hamburg since February 24, 2022 because, among other things, there are “actual indications of efforts against the free democratic basic order”.

The LfV announced this in a message.

And continues in the letter, "The association's hostility to the constitution results from the openly articulated hostility towards the democratic constitutional state.

In particular, UMEHR rejects the principle of democracy and pursues a security-endangering and anti-democratic delegitimization of the state, which is also underpinned by a pronounced narrative of resistance.

The message of the LfV could hardly be formulated more clearly.

The message says "Anyone who takes part in the meetings of UMEHR eV is marching side by side with extremists."

Demonstration against the Ukraine war: dispute over the number of participants between the Hamburg police and the organizer

On the following Saturday, tens of thousands of people protested again in Hamburg. This time the protesters answered the call of a broad, non-partisan alliance to express their rejection of the Ukraine war and their solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
