According to the information, there were isolated protest groups in the city.
Signs of the demonstrators said, among other things, "Never again lockdown".
New event approved subject to conditions
The police had cordoned off a large area of the registered meeting place.
After the big rally was canceled, another event manager reported and registered the new protest, the spokeswoman said.
The police had approved this on the condition that they wear mouth and nose protection and observe distance regulations.
According to the police, the participants were sometimes far apart, and some had been wearing cardboard signs.
But there were also participants who did not comply with the distance and mask requirement, said the police spokeswoman.
The law enforcement officers should have intervened and pointed out the applicable rules and regulations.
