The G7 summit at Schloss Elmau is imminent.

The police are preparing for demos, but so far everything is fine, according to the police chief.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen - climate change, pandemic, war - the crises of the world bring new forms of protest with them.

The police are also preparing for this at the G7 summit in Elmau.

But so far: everything is green.

Despite new protest movements in connection with the climate crisis, Corona and the Ukraine war, the police see no concrete, serious threat to the G7 summit.

"In cooperation with the other parties involved, we continuously assess the security situation and adapt our concepts and measures to the current circumstances," said the President of the Police Headquarters in Upper Bavaria South, Manfred Hauser, of the German Press Agency.

"At the moment, however, we have no information about specific threat scenarios." The G7 summit, chaired by Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), is planned for June 26-28.

The summit took place at Schloss Elmau in 2015, and there were largely no riots.

Some spoke of the “most peaceful summit ever”.

We want to build on that.

"The current situation, on which our measures are based, has changed significantly in parts compared to 2015," said Hauser, but with a view to the lateral thinker scene and new forms of protest by climate activists.

The effects will also be felt in Munich.

They rely on a police presence on site and also on the Internet, said Hauser, who heads the G7 planning staff with Munich police chief Thomas Hampel.

"We keep an eye on the real world, i.e. the operational area, but also the virtual world."

Above all, Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine has fundamentally changed the global political situation.

“The influence on the security situation, both nationally and internationally, is definitely noticeable.

We also see this clearly from the talks with our national and international partners in preparation for the summit,” said Hauser.

The extent to which protests at the G7 summit specifically deal with the war is unclear.

It is still not officially known how many police officers are on duty.

In 2015 there were around 18,000 civil servants from all over Germany and neighboring countries.

It is assumed that the number will be similar this time, Hauser repeated.

In June 2022, Germany is inviting the most powerful industrial nations in the West to the G7 summit in Schloss Elmau.

But when and where will the G7 meet in 2023?
