Demo against AfD in Hergatz: Online petition demands consequences!
in the Bavarian community of Hergatz, specifically in the village of Itzling, has been taking protests against the controversial AfD regulars' tables for many months in the month. These meetings, which have been held in a former restaurant for almost a year, attract both supporters and opponents. The protest initiatives are organized by different groups, including the "Alliance Hergatz remains colorful", the "Grandma's against Right Lake Constance" and the "Open Anti -Fascist Meeting (OAT) Westallgäu". These groups are committed to a colorful and diverse society and decide the ideologies of the AfD.
On July 1, 2023, an estimated number of 60 people took part in a peaceful demonstration against the AfD-Stammtische. Nevertheless, there were verbal clashes between the demonstrators and the supporters of the AfD, among which the member of the Bundestag and AfD district chairman Rainer Rothfuß was also located. The protest cuts were under the sign of a clear appeal: The AfD and its meetings are criticized as the carrier of "racist, nationalist and democratic and democratic ideologies", as shown in a new online petition.
online petition against the AfD meetings
The initiators of the protests have started an online petition at change.org that bears the title "Hergatzer Appell against the AfD meeting point in our community". This petition has already received almost 200 signatures and appeals to the municipal administration and the Lindau district office to take measures against the AfD meetings. The petition pointed out that public security must be ensured and that anti -constitutional activities must be prevented. It is also referred to the fact that the AfD is classified by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a "secured right -wing extremist".
According to reports, there were provocations and attempts at intimidation against the demonstrators during the protests. In February there was also a palpable conflict that now leads to legal consequences, since several criminal proceedings are underway.
