Walter-Borjans also demanded that all reasonable citizens must take a clear stand against it. A video broadcast on social media shows people standing in front of Köpping’s house with burning torches, whistles and drums and chanting slogans. The police confirmed the incident earlier this morning. According to this, 30 people took part in the meeting in front of Köpping’s house and tried to flee when the police arrived. 15 cars were reportedly stopped, and the identities of 25 people were determined.-
The Saxon Minister of Justice Meier condemned the act. The Green politician wrote on Twitter that it was an absolute break of a taboo. The SPD chairwoman Esken assured Köpping of solidarity. Esken literally wrote: “Even if the few Hansel try to spread fear and horror. Those who are rational and willing to take responsibility are the great majority.”
According to the police, further demonstrations against the Corona measures in Saxony took place in Freiberg and Leipzig, and protests had been registered in the districts of Görlitz and Bautzen. In the past few weeks, the Saxon police had not prevented a similar gathering, although they violated the Free State’s Corona Protection Ordinance. The resignation of Interior Minister Wöller (CDU) has therefore been called for thousands of times on social media.
The journalist and connoisseur of the so-called lateral thinker scene, Alexander Roth, said on Deutschlandfunk that the movement was becoming increasingly radical. In the channels in the messenger service Telegram, direct calls for violence are shared more frequently. In addition, he believes that there are more attacks on vaccination centers and against journalists.-
Roth explained that lateral thinkers are convinced that a vaccination against corona leads to death in the long or short term. Some therefore think of emigration.
