Monday demos in Nuremberg: dealers complain about loss of sales!

Nürnberger Innenstadt, Deutschland - Monday demos take place regularly in Nuremberg, which according to reports by t-online have. Retailers report a noticeable decline in customers and losses in sales. On Monday in particular, many customers have concerns to visit the city center, which is confirmed by the economic officer Andrea Heilmaier. This is increasingly receiving feedback from trade and gastronomy that customers are unsettled due to the demos.

The increasing police presence during the events is perceived by many as scary. Business representatives demand that the city take more active steps to change the demonstration routes. So far, however, all attempts to move the train from the city center have failed, most recently before the Ansbach administrative court. A decision that is not only viewed critically by the single dealers, but also by the Nuremberg Mayor Marcus König, who is concerned about the social division.

demonstrations and their framework conditions

The Monday demos, as last on February 10, 2025 under the title "For Democracy and the rule of law - against fascism and warfilling", not only support supporters, but also opponents. Around 100 people took part in this event, which started at 6:30 p.m. on Hallplatz. Two registered counter -demonstrations with a total of approx. 300 participants tried to get to the route of the Monday demo. The police operation was then intensive, with multiple use of direct compulsion by the police, including pepper spray.

The city administration is bound by law and law. According to the current regulations, demonstrations only have to be displayed; Approval is not required. Interventions are only possible for specific dangers for public security, which partially complicate the current situation.

Right to a meeting and social participation

The right to a meeting is repeatedly emphasized as a fundamental_ element of a democratic society. In this context, it is important that citizens actively use their right to political and social participation, as it is emphasized by Germany.de . The democratic protest is not only a way to express your own opinions, but also a social duty to stand up for our values.

The city administration faces the challenge of respecting the basic democratic right to assembly and on the other hand to maintain the interests of the locally affected business owners. The future development of Monday demos and its consequences for the Nuremberg city center therefore remains to be seen. The conversations between all parties involved must be intensified in order to find a solution that meets both the democratic requirements as well as the city's economic interests.
