Bishop to demos in Kassel: Corona rule violation endangers life

The bishop of the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck, Beate Hofmann, has condemned the riots during the protests against the corona policy in Kassel. »Freedom of expression is a valuable asset that we are committed to protecting. But behavior at a demo that disregards the corona rules and willfully accepts the risk of contagion is not a sensible expression of freedom of expression, but highly negligent and irresponsible, “said the bishop. Because this would drive up incidence values ​​further and the restrictions would persist. “Disregarding the corona rules endangers human life.”

Cohesion is the order of the day: “From our point of view, cohesion means sticking to the corona rules until there is enough vaccine for everyone and dealing with the social consequences together. Cohesion does not mean disregarding rules that restrict, but also protect health and life. ”

According to police estimates, more than 20,000 people demonstrated against the Corona containment measures on Saturday in Kassel . The court-confirmed conditions of the city, which only allowed 6000 participants, were massively disregarded. Many participants did not adhere to the requirement to wear mouth and nose protection. During an illegal demonstration through the city center, there were violent clashes with counter-demonstrators and the police.
