Peaceful political struggle in Horn-Bad Meinberg: Police ensure order

A political spectacle that heated people's minds! On Saturday, October 26, 2024, AfD supporters gathered on the town hall square in Horn-Bad Meinberg at 2 p.m. Despite initial expectations of 150 participants, police estimated there were only about 50 who showed up to the meeting. There was also an impressive picture on the other side: over 120 demonstrators who fought for the working group against Nazis and “The Party” gathered to raise their voices. A true meeting of political opinions!

The Lippe police worked tirelessly and were supported by the police headquarters in Bielefeld to ensure that the meeting took place in an orderly manner. Like an attentive guard, the police ensured that the discussions between the meeting leaders were fair and peaceful. Speeches and chants ensured that opinions were expressed loudly and clearly. But the tension was palpable when a participant in the AfD meeting was briefly excluded. A criminal case was opened because of his behavior and the police seized his banned protective weapons.

Peaceful course and strict measures

Despite the political controversy, the situation unexpectedly remained peaceful, with no notable incidents during the event. The meeting ended at 4 p.m., but debates and disagreements continued well after the event. It was a day full of political disputes that brought the streets of Horn-Bad Meinberg into the center of attention!
