Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - After the debates about demonstrations in Corona times, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) referred to possibilities of protest on the Internet.
There you can demonstrate contactless, he said on Tuesday in Stuttgart.
"The counterpart to the home office is simply to protest intelligently online."
He compared the topic to distance and face-to-face teaching in schools: “Of course, protesting properly is more charming than just doing it online.
But it's just a pandemic. "
For a "lateral thinker" demo on Holy Saturday, thousands of people had gathered in Stuttgart without any distance or mouth and nose protection.
This sparked a discussion about banning such protests.
The city of Stuttgart, for example, then banned two further planned demos.
"They got it on themselves," said Kretschmann, looking at the demonstrators.
"You can't allow that, if necessary, large-scale sources of infection arise."
If organizers are credible and adhere to guidelines, a demo is not a problem, he said.
But the state will do everything to stop demonstrations that endanger the common good.
