How crowded will the marketplace in front of the town hall be on Monday?"You can break our bones, but not our resistance!" This is the call from Colette Bornkamm-Rink for the demonstration on Monday, August 19, 2024, in Aschersleben, due to the events and violence at the demo on August 12, 2024. Interpreted by AI (Artificial Intelligence), not necessarily complete or correct YouTube transcript. The spoken word in the video applies. Hello my dear Colette, hello Tine. There was quite a bit going on with you on Monday in Aschersleben. Most people have surely heard about it. But can you summarize it again in one or two sentences? Yes, well, it’s a shame that our Daddel was on vacation last week. Of course, we wish him a good holiday, but he’s usually the one who edits the video and posts it immediately. This time, someone else filmed it, WT Mediasystem or something like that, and posted it on their channel. But they only have about 28 subscribers, so it didn’t really get out there. So, we had our rally, and I gave a speech at the rally about exactly this: that these troops are brought into our country so they don’t have to face their neighbors or former elementary school teachers. It hurts them less to beat up a stranger. Then there was a spontaneous walk. For four years now, there have been these walks. Depending on the weather — if it’s too hot, raining, etc. — sometimes there are walks, sometimes not. On Monday it was pleasant, and a few people spontaneously decided to take the walk. It’s known that in Aschersleben, violence has never come from our protest. This was also confirmed to me by people from the public order office and the police, who always said they like to be in Aschersleben because it is completely stress-free there. When I arrived at the marketplace, I already thought, "Something is wrong here." There were just way too many police vehicles, and in a very strange way, it reminded me of Sondershausen and Gera on July 27. People then spontaneously gathered for the walk, but the police wanted to stop it immediately. Yes, and they targeted our Frank... well, I can only describe it from my feelings. They singled out our Frank, and apparently also knocked over his handcart at the beginning. That can be seen in a video and was reported similarly by others. You have to look at the footage. In the end, they pressed him to the ground, even though he repeatedly said, "I am peaceful, I am peaceful." And to those who privately love to play Zambalo but never attend events and always tell us to just knock down all the police: They then made comments like, "What kind of wimp is that shouting 'I am peaceful'?" It was exactly right that he said that because he clearly expressed his peacefulness, yet he was still pressed down. They then stepped on his hand, his thumb was broken. He had to be taken to the emergency room. So, for the first time, we experienced this violence in Aschersleben or this... how should I say it? It’s this disproportionality. It was just disproportionate. The police themselves said there were 40 people, all older, who were peacefully protesting. And we’ve seen this happen more often in recent weeks. In Gera on the 27th there was a rally for peace and freedom. You can see it on Dattel 5’s channel. There, Renny from Querdenken showed a great perspective of a man standing completely peacefully, doing nothing, then getting bumped, stepping back — he falls back, tries to get up again, and by stepping forward again, it’s then interpreted as if he wanted to attack the police. Bam, it started, and he was arrested. The same people were at Monday’s demo. Usually, two police cars come along, normal local police officers. I’ve heard this from many other places too. It looks like they want to scare the demonstrators with the message: "If you’re on the street, you might get your thumb broken." We can only suspect or think that they hope violence will break out or something. So, dear people, let’s stay peaceful. They want that, they need their pictures, and they’re trying everything to provoke it. Of course, it’s difficult. You know, I don’t mince words either, and I find it terrible to see something like this. But the point is, they want to bring people to the point where they can ban the demonstrations, saying, "Because of the high level of violence." And then nobody talks about how the violence was basically a reaction and the action came from them first. So we just have to keep calm and peaceful. We can shout our words, express our opinions — well, to a limited extent. I also have a complaint filed under Paragraph 188 of the Criminal Code now, after the demo — the prosecution. But we must stay calm. I was in contact with Frank immediately afterward. Some of you may know: I was in a wheelchair for three months last year. Sometimes I could walk a bit, then it got worse again. I was hit in the back with a wooden stick. And even then I said immediately afterward, and I said it again on Monday: They can break our bones, but they will never break our resistance. That’s why it would be nice if another rally takes place on Monday at 6 p.m. Some people have already announced they’ll come, and our Wolfgang has agreed to register the walk because now it’s really planned. Previously these were spontaneous walks. So there will be a registered walk so no one has to fear being criminalized for participating in an unregistered event. I also said in my speech on Monday that it’s basically totally perverse that we have to apply for the right to demonstrate from those we are demonstrating against and follow their rules. But, as Tina also said, so that we can keep demonstrating at all... I don’t know, two hearts are beating in my chest. It just can’t be helped at the moment. You’ve heard Colette’s call: I would be happy if many people come to Aschersleben on Monday. Please say again when and where. So, Monday, 6 p.m., in front of the town hall, that’s the marketplace. My idea is that since they sent out the signal: "Something might happen here, better stay home," we send the signal back: "Now more than ever," and next time there will be more of us. And that will be next Monday, August 19, at 6 p.m. at the marketplace. Everything is registered. For those who are a bit unsure — some may already have a ridiculous charge for incitement to hatred, which is almost an honor in our movement — but if you already have that, you think twice and say, "I won’t go if it’s not registered." But everything is official, and yes, we would be very, very happy. Tina will be there with Waldi, someone from Berlin has signed up. The people from Merseburg and Weißenfels, where we are currently guests at a summer festival, have also signed up. The people from Blankenburg might come, so there are several groups. I also know Halberstadt and Wernigerode will come. So many from the surrounding area, but we can never be too many. And if you can, please bring a small poster or banner with maybe the town name on it. Querdenken will also come, so we can show that so many places are gathered in Aschersleben and we all show solidarity. It’s not just about showing solidarity with Aschersleben but showing that we stand together. And we don’t only stand together when it’s easy — in quotation marks, "relatively easy." We stand even more together when it gets harder. And with that, we also show Frank our solidarity, who has an extremely painful thumb and forearm — he can barely move his arm. We had the bridge lighting on Thursday. He usually waves the flags strongly, but he couldn’t do anything. So, that’s really... I think he’s still in shock, he’s actually a very nice person. And I find it so sad that we have experienced so much police violence now. There was a time of calm, and now it’s starting again. It’s just terrible. Violence against people can never be a solution. Do you want to say anything else? I think that’s everything. Alright. So, let’s hope for Monday, August 19, at 6 p.m. at the marketplace in Aschersleben. Until then, we wish you a nice weekend and look forward to Monday. So, see you then! Author: AI-Translation - ChatGPT (Künstliche Intelligenz) auf Basis des YouTube-Transcriptes | 18.08.2024 |
