Ballweg also announced in the video message that it would initially no longer register any major "lateral thinking" demonstrations.
With this retreat in winter, he said, strength should be gathered for spring.
"For this reason, I will no longer register any major demonstrations."
He also recommends this to other “lateral thinking” groups in Germany.
At the same time, he called for an organization to be found that would register a large-scale demonstration “in the near future”.
He is also happy about everyone who is active himself and who holds smaller meetings.
At the big “lateral thinking” demonstration on August 29th in Berlin, many participants did not adhere to the distance rule.
On November 18, a similar demonstration in Berlin was broken up by the police with the help of water cannons because almost no one was wearing mouth and nose protection.
