Police secure protest against right elevator in Schleusingen

Schleusingen, Deutschland - Schleusingen shakes by polarized demonstrations!

On November 16, 2024, the small town of Schleusingen experienced a heated encounter: While a group of 87 participants from the right -wing scene held a registered elevator at the train station, the Evangelical parish mobilized 60 peaceful citizens for a quiet protest and a subsequent prayer of peace. This tense Situation required massive security precautions when the Suhl state police inspection kept the events in view. The danger situation was real and the police were ready!

at 5:20 p.m. the right -wing extremists marched. Despite its frequent provocative appearances, the meeting remained surprisingly peaceful and without incident. The police secured the elevator with a contingent of Thuringian emergency services and ensured that the streets were only slightly blocked. The Evangelical parish had started its call for quiet protest at 5:00 p.m. and the population was closed: its faces conveyed determined and solidarity in a sign of peace against the charged emotions of the opposite.

a day of contrasts

The events developed calmly, and at 7:50 p.m. the peaceful meeting of the parish ended. It was an impressive evidence of the gap in society that comes to light during such invited meetings. Schleusingen, a place at the interface of protest and peace appeals, remains a focal point for social tensions and a test for the local community.
