Several hundred people demonstrated against the authorities’ measures against the coronavirus in Basel on Saturday. Our society is degenerating into a health dictatorship, it was said, among other things, at the peaceful rally at the fairgrounds.
The measures prescribed by the authorities to prevent the spread of the coronavirus were denounced in various votes. In particular, the requirement to wear a mask was repeatedly criticized. Although this is the only Federal Council requirement for political rallies, the majority of the 500 or so protesters did not wear a face mask.
The organizers had drawn attention to the obligation to wear a mask at 1pm at the beginning of the approved customer assignment and confirmed it an hour later. After the Basel Police Chief of Operations pointed out the mask requirement, emergency services entered the scene after 3pm and conducted personal checks.
The chief of operations had previously announced that anyone who did not wear a mask without a medical certificate would be referred to the prosecutor. And that would be expensive. From time to time, rally participants would leave the fairgrounds.

In general, the demonstration was peaceful. The authorities were repeatedly criticized. The Federal Council, for example, has been compared to the Taliban because it prohibits people from doing anything. The rule of law will be trampled, he also said. And one said that the whole “history of the mask” was a crime against humanity.
