After around 300 people gathered to protest against a Green Party event in Hirschhaid in the Bamberg district on Wednesday evening, it had to be canceled due to security concerns. That’s what he reports Bavarian Radio. According to BR, the protests were said to have been so violent that party members present were “extremely afraid”. The demonstrators were there with 60 tractors and disrupted the event with whistles and horns. According to the report, people also banged on windows at the venue. The event was the annual general meeting of the Bamberg-Land district association of the Greens.
Its chairman Tim-Luca Rosenheimer described the situation to the BR as threatening and intimidating. “As we left the community center, we were under police protection from the crowd of protesters who were shouting insults at us,” Rosenheimer told the station. Among the approximately 300 people present, the Green politician recognized not only farmers but also protesters from the lateral thinker milieu. He also made several emergency calls because there were too few police officers on site at the demonstration.
The Greens’ political Ash Wednesday in Biberach, Baden-Württemberg, had to be canceled due to protests. As a result, more than a dozen investigations were initiated against protesters, among whom many farmers are said to have been.
