Police secure two opposing rallies in Schleusingen
Both the right-wing gathering and two counter-actions ran with no incidents on 14 November.
Police staged a security operation in Schleusingen on 14 November after a private organizer registered a right-wing march followed by a rally, with two planned counter-actions.
The right-wing event started at 17:40 at Schleusingen train station and ended just over one hour later at Schmuckplatz, with 86 participants and no incidents.
The Evangelical church community and the “Bündnis Vielfalt” called for a peace prayer at 17:00, followed by a silent protest in front of the church. About 101 people joined and then marched as a procession to Schmuckplatz. Their actions also ended around 18:45.
During the right-wing procession, police reported minor traffic disruptions in Schleusingen. The deployment was secured exclusively by officers from Thuringia.
According to the Thuringian police, the security operation is complete, and no incidents were reported.
