protests lead to the cancellation of the political Ash Wednesday of the Greens in Biberach

Interior Minister Thomas Strobl clearly condemned the aggressive behavior of protesters in Biberach, which led to the cancellation of the political Ash Wednesday of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen. The deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Thomas Strobl said to cancel the political Ash Wednesday of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen in Biberach: "The aggressive behavior of protesters in Biberach is completely unacceptable. These demonstrators have proven to be a desire to pay the matter of the farmers and hindered a democratic party in the exercise of their fundamental rights Clearly a limit.

The farmers have demonstrated peacefully and without violence in the past few weeks and cooperated with the police. It was different today: the police met a significantly increased aggressiveness and willingness to use violence.

The cancellation of the political Ash Wednesday in Biberach due to the aggressive behavior of the protesters has different effects. On the one hand, the possibility of political discussion and opinion formation is restricted, since the event could not take place as planned. In addition, the behavior of the demonstrators throws a bad light on the concerns for which they are committed. Instead of peaceful protests and constructive debates, the aggressiveness led to a prevention of fundamental rights.

It remains to be seen that future protests and political events can take place again in a respectful setting so that the basic democratic principles remain and constructive discussions are possible.
