The police draw a positive conclusion in connection with the rallies on Saturday in Ulm – and are not expecting any more trouble today.
In order to ensure that the event (party conference of right-wing extremists – continues today) and the meetings ran smoothly, the Ulm police headquarters carried out extensive operational measures, as they announced.
Several anti-right rallies took place in downtown Ulm and at the Donauhalle. To protect the event and ensure the rallies ran smoothly, police forces in the mid-three-digit range were deployed at peak times – that would mean around 500.
The Ulm police headquarters was supported by forces from the “Einsatz” police headquarters and other police headquarters from the state of Baden-Württemberg – according to information from ulm-news, these also came from the riot police points in Biberach and Göppingen.
A police boat (Danube) and the cavalry squadron were also in action. The two processions and the rallies were peaceful. According to current findings, there were only two violations of the Assembly Act. The police have started investigating here.
According to ulm-news information, an AfD influencer said, among other things, that he was walking through the ranks of the counter-protest movement with his camera and recording its participants. He was pushed back with rainbow umbrellas.
The security concept chosen by the police in advance appears to have proven successful overall. According to police estimates, the number of participants in the rallies and the parades was in the low four-digit range. There were 2,000 demonstrators at the Donauhalle – around 500 at the Weinhof in Ulm.
“The police would like to thank all those attending the meeting for their peaceful and cooperative behavior on Saturday in Ulm,” the statement says.
There are no known demonstrations for today.
