Frankfurt. According to police, a “Festival of the Cultures of Palestine” at Frankfurt’s Hauptwache has so far been peaceful. The event was “totally quiet,” said a police spokesman on site. There is a stage and several stands.
According to the public order office, 2,000 participants were registered. Because the festival is taking place in the middle of the city center, it is difficult to count the participants, according to the police. There is a constant coming and going, and at the peak the police estimated that there were 120 people present. The event officially lasts until 8:30 p.m.
The organizers were required to abide by certain rules. According to the public order office, this includes, for example, that no anti-Semitic slogans may be chanted. According to the police, “everything was completely in compliance with the regulations and registration” until the afternoon. (dpa)
