Safety concerns: CSD in Bautzen under police protection and canceled game
Bautzen, a city in East Germany, is the focus of a worrying confrontation between social movements and right -wing extremist groups. This year's Christopher Street Day (CSD) is accompanied by massive security measures. This illustrates the social tensions in the context of acceptance and rejection of queer -friendly events.
growing social tensions
Around 500 participants are expected for the 2nd CSD parade in Bautzen for the 2nd CSD parade, which is scheduled to start in the afternoon at 2 p.m. But at the same time, there is a demonstration of opponents of this event on the subject of "against gender propaganda and confusion of identity !!!" Registered for which up to 400 people are registered. In addition, there is a protest from the right -wing extremist small party Freie Sachsen, which wants to mobilize between 30 and 50 participants. These confrontations illustrate the deeper social tensions in dealing with gender issues and identity discussions.police presence to ensure security
Due to these possible right -wing extremist interference, the police have taken extensive measures. Police spokeswoman explained that there are corresponding forces on site to guarantee a smooth running of the events. However, specific figures on the police contingent were not published, which raises questions about transparency and a potential excess of security measures.
cancellation of the final party
In the middle of this tense security situation, the CSD organizers have canceled a planned final party. CSD co-organizer Jonas Löschau, who is also a member of the Greens, justifies this step with a lack of resources to secure the event. He advises the participants to only move in groups in the city to ensure their security.
political reactions and social importance
The Saxon Minister of Justice Katja Meier has shaken himself about the cancellation of the event and condemns hatred against the Queer Community as unacceptable. In their opinion, such incidents show the need for human rights and such discrimination. It is not only a question of personal or cultural expression, but also a social challenge that examines the basis of equality and acceptance in Germany.
A look at the history of the CSD
The Christopher Street Day, who is celebrated worldwide, is reminiscent of a crucial turn in the history of the LGBTQ+movement, triggered by a police command in 1969 in the New Yorker “Stonewall Inn”. These events represent the struggle for acceptance and the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, intersexuals and queer people. The recurring disputes over the CSD in Bautzen are not only local, but also reflect a wider national trend in terms of social dealings with questions of identity and gender.
