Leipzig (dpa / sn) - Despite various Internet calls, hardly any critics of the corona policy tried to demonstrate in Leipzig on Saturday.

The situation in the city is very quiet, said police spokeswoman Dorothea Benndorf.

Only a few people from the “lateral thinker” spectrum have come here.

A bus with around 30 occupants was said to be stopped.

The police observed the traffic around Leipzig.

Actions against the corona policy had been advertised on the Internet.

However, no demonstration was registered in advance.

Three smaller events, which the city of Leipzig assigned to the "lateral thinker" scene, were banned.

In addition, there were three approved counter-demonstrations, for which, according to Benndorf, fewer than 100 participants attended.

The police were on duty with a large number.

In addition to Saxon police officers, officials from various federal states such as Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate as well as the federal police were on duty.

Several water cannons were deployed in downtown Leipzig.

A helicopter had been circling over the city since the morning.

Mounted police were also on the way.

Leipzig hit the headlines on November 7th when a local offshoot of the “lateral thinking” movement gathered at least 20,000 people in the city center.

The mask requirement was violated on a massive scale.

The demonstration was broken up.

Then the "lateral thinkers" forced a walk across the Leipziger Ring.

The police let them go.
