In Addition to Bridge Lighting, Now Also Street Lighting with Police SupportIn an impressive demonstration of the pursuit of light and order, the police in Aschersleben have opened a new chapter in citizen interaction. Following the growing popularity of the bridge lighting, where citizens protest in dazzling colors against government policies and for peace, there is now street lighting — and with full police support! On Monday, October 14, 2024, a demonstration took place in Aschersleben, marked by an unusually high police presence that could rival major rock concerts. The reason was that the criticism of government policy in Könnern the week before was apparently a bit too sharp for the authorities’ taste. And as is fitting for a German democratic republic, Salzlandkreis issued an order for the period from October 14 to November 8, 2024, putting an end to all unauthorized outdoor rallies. But don’t worry, the police bring the light! In recent weeks, citizens had been conducting their "walks" without registration after the officially registered demonstration. They believe one does not have to ask the rulers for permission when protesting exactly against them. A comprehensible thought! But since safety can’t be compromised, the walk was registered shortly before last Monday after all. Who would have thought that the term "registration" still holds meaning today? The citizens marched with their posters and flags, accompanied by an impressive armada of police vehicles. One might think the police are creating a new kind of light spectacle: "Lighting for Freedom" — after all, one of the goals of the demonstration was to demand more freedom! But instead of just glowing with candles and lanterns, the police vehicles with their blue lights create a real street illumination, turning the protest into a true experience. It seems the officers have understood that the right handling of demonstrations means not only enforcing laws but also creating an atmosphere. And what could be better than many flashing lights illuminating the streets while citizens claim their rights? Given these advances, one might imagine that Aschersleben will soon become a hotspot for light art, where citizens and police dance together in the glow of blue lights. Perhaps the next big festival will be held there — "The Great Lighting of Aschersleben" — with police and citizens celebrating in harmony on the streets. One can only hope that citizens continue to have the courage to raise their voices and that the police are always ready to present them in the best light. The foundation for street lighting has thus been laid in Aschersleben. Now many towns and municipalities in our region can follow suit. Colette Bornkamm-Rink, who is usually at the forefront of protests, was connected by phone with her speech "The Body Fights and the Heart Beats in Resistance" due to illness.
