Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony's Interior Minister Roland Wöller condemned the attacks on police officers and journalists at the demonstration in Dresden on Saturday.
"Despite the ban on assemblies, the corona deniers have shown with brute force and limitless egotism that they are trampling on the rule of law and the health of everyone," said the CDU politician on Sunday when asked.
The criminals would be called to account with “all the severity of the rule of law”, according to Wöller.
Accordingly, among other things, the organizer of the banned protests was taken into custody - he is under investigation.
"Violations of the Corona Protection Ordinance and the right of assembly are consistently pursued and punished," said Wöller.
Almost 1,000 people were held by the police and identities were established until late in the evening.
Almost 50 crimes were registered.
State politicians from the Left, the Greens and the SPD had accused the police of not having the situation under control on Saturday - and are now calling for political reappraisal
"Like every major mission, this is also evaluated critically and thoroughly," announced Wöller on Sunday.
We have to wait and see the results.
Rash judgments and blanket criticism of the police are therefore out of place, according to Wöller.
