Federal Minister of Justice Christine Lambrecht condemned the excesses in the demonstration of "transverse thinking" in Leipzig and called for a "thorough investigation". "What we saw in Leipzig yesterday can not be justified by anything. Freedom to demonstrate is not a freedom to use violence and massively endanger others," said Lambrecht. Such a situation in the middle of the pandemic should not be repeated. Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer clearly rejects an premature criticism of the police: "We have to stop the tactics of the police afterwards without knowing the details and without a complete picture through remote diagnosis. All participants, the assembly authorities and the courts must make responsible decisions in view of the current infection situation. However, rules of the assembly authorities must be observed and enforced, "Seehofer said he added:" The police have full support. " In Leipzig, at least 20,000 people from all over Germany protested against the federal government's coronation measures on Saturday. At first the rally was mostly peaceful. The demonstration was then canceled. Many participants initially refused to leave the place. Instead, they moved on. A group of people finally broke the chain. As a result, violent unrest occurred: some participants in the demonstration attacked police officers and reporters. According to the police, up to 500 “violent” gathered in the left district of Connewitz and set fire to the barricades. The police recorded a total of 102 crimes, including 14 attacks against law enforcement officers and 13 attacks. 13 people were temporarily arrested. How should the authorities deal with the movement of transverse thinking? "The movement is radicalized," says Julius Geiler. He reports on the demonstrations for the "Tagesspiegel" since the beginning of the hygiene demonstrations. He describes his impressions from Leipzig and how he perceives the threat to journalists.
