The city of Bern and the cantonal police want to enforce the ban on events and demonstrations on Saturday.
Bernese cantonal police want to counter the rally of opponents of the crown measures announced for Saturday with a significantly larger squad. She insists on the existing ban on events and demonstrations.
This ban had already chilled a few hundred Corona opponents on May 2 and 9 at the Bundesplatz. The protests could only be resolved slowly, as the cantonal police wrote in a message. Factual discussions with the demonstration participants were hardly possible.
Checks and screens
But this is precisely an essential principle when it comes to police having to enforce federal Covid regulation 19. “If the talks fail to achieve their goal, the police must take the necessary steps in the framework of proportionality,” wrote the police. In the event of an event and failure to comply with police instructions, the police announce personal checks and notifications.
The Bern City Council has already made clear on Wednesday that it does not understand the protesters. He expressly condemned “ignoring the guidelines”. Protesters also discovered the required distances and additional hygiene standards.
Fundamental rights at risk?
Democratic lawyers in Bern criticize the city for its dealings with protesters during the pandemic. In view of the opening of stores and restaurants in particular, they are calling on the authorities to make possible political protests. “Participation in the formation of political opinion is as important as the economic well-being of the population,” says the communication.
