Activists plan to march from City Hall on Rathausplatz to Schlossplatz in Dresden from 17:00 Dec. 13. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce budget cuts proposed by Dresden lawmakers. Along the way, organizers plan to rally on Hasenburg at 17:30, then to rally upon arrival at Schlossplatz at 18:30. Several hundred participants attended a related demonstration on Nov. 21.
Police will likely deploy along the march route to facilitate the demonstration. The procession will likely disrupt vehicular transport. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, frustrated motorists, or low-level confrontations cannot be ruled out.
