Halle Braces for CSD With Heavy Police Presence as Right‑Wing Countermarch Is Registered

Security planning follows a June attack in Brandenburg that organizers say left the threat level unchanged.

Overview

  • Police forecast several thousand people at multiple assemblies across the inner city, around the main station and in the Berliner Straße and Freiimfelder Straße areas.
  • A right-wing counterdemonstration has been registered with up to 1,000 participants announced near the station.
  • The program includes a CSD procession, several rallies and a morning bike demonstration, with some events beginning at 10:00.
  • Officers will deploy in large numbers and use identifiable conflict managers to help ensure a peaceful day and safe arrivals and departures.
  • Significant all-day traffic and tram disruptions are expected, with police posting updates on closures via social media, and CSDs in Saxony-Anhalt are under special protection with targeted person checks near venues.
