Peaceful protest in Peine: Police secured the AfD counter event

On September 7, 2024, a remarkable political event took place in the municipality of Ilsede, more precisely in Bülten, which was accompanied by supporters and opponents. The occasion was the summer conference of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), to which numerous participants gathered.

In the course of the conference, the "Peiner Alliance for Tolerance" called on a counter -event to set an example of cosmopolitanism and tolerance. This meeting was organized at the same time as the AfD's annual conference and was called "For a tolerant Peine". In order to offer the meeting a safe framework, the police blocked the district road 31 (K31) between Bülten and Groß Bülten for the duration of the event.

The course of the event

The participants of the counter event initially gathered on the Schützenplatz in Bülten, where the opening speakers conveyed their messages for respectful coexistence. Around 10:15 a.m., the assembly participants started to move and marched to the actual event location on the K31/Barbaraweg. The mood was mostly peaceful here, but to avoid tensions between the participants of the AfD conference and the counter-protesters, the police had to pronounce a few dismissals.

The number of participants of the counter event was remarkable in the weddings, the police counted a high three -digit amount of people who came to conviction. The atmosphere was characterized by numerous speeches that promoted tolerance and respect, and the participants were in solidarity towards the values of open society.

After about two and a half hours, the event could be ended without any noteworthy incidents and arguments. The public service was able to release Kreisstraße 31 again for traffic in the early afternoon. The police were positive about the course of the counter event and thanked the "Peiner Alliance for Tolerance" for the cooperative cooperation, which ensured a peaceful process.

at a time when political encounters are often accompanied by tensions, this event stands out through the peaceful implementation and the clear attitude of the participants. In an open dialogue, the groups set an example for their respective beliefs and show how social discussions can also take place in a respectful way. Such events are an important part of democratic culture that lets both Pro and Contra say.
