The police union is urging closer coordination with CSD organizers and changes to assembly laws to enhance the safety of participants. Recent hostilities and disruptions have occurred at CSDs in Berlin and Cologne, with right-wing extremist protests also announced in Leipzig.
The CSD, which commemorates the Stonewall riots of 1969 in New York, aims to raise awareness about the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. In response to the disturbances in Bautzen, where planned CSD events were disrupted by extremist protests, the police union chairman, Jochen Kopelke, called for increased collaboration with event organizers to prevent such incidents.
The police have faced challenges in protecting CSD events, particularly during arrival and departure, as well as after parties. To address these concerns, the police union is advocating for stricter, nationwide assembly laws, enabling quicker intervention.
These measures aim to support the peaceful celebration of the CSD and ensure the safety of all participants.
