AfD Kompakt, December 30, 2021.
The restoration of the basic right of freedom of assembly endures
no further delay. The current Corona decree in Saxony runs out on January 9. The
government might thus be allowed to work on the subsequent regulations. Only a
speedy special session of the Landtag can thus prevent that the massive
restrictions of the basic rights are also included in the next decree.
We have seen in the last weeks that the limitation of
demonstrations to ten persons has disturbed the peace of our State. As a result
of this regulation, participants in assemblies and marchers automatically come
to blows with the police. This ever further expanding escalation is to be
immediately stopped. Happily, the Police Union (GdP) has also acknowledged
this.
Only when the State government lifts the ten person limit
can the situation in our streets relax. Self-evidently, against violent
perpetrators the police must consequently proceed. Yet it may never be allowed
in a free country to come to a criminalization of peaceful citizens’ protests.
The AfD will therefore also show itself in the future to be
in solidarity with all of those who muster the courage to carry their concerns
and needs before the public free of violence. This is a basic right. The State
must respect this.
