This support is carried out, while ongoing procedures were still pending and a previously planned supporter party had to be canceled because the hall is no longer available.

The protests that took place on February 14, 2024 had led to significant riots. One reason for the escalation was an aggressive mood, as reported zdf.de .

The violence and unrest were so serious that the Greens had to cancel their event at short notice. According to a police officer, preparations were made to prevent the demonstrators from penetrating into the hall, which further tightened the security situation. The events led to a nationwide outcry and the demand for further measures against such protests that, from the Greens' point of view, question the basis of democratic principles.
