Several meetings at the German-Czech border

17.05.2020

Everywhere along the Czech external border, people from the Czech Republic and neighboring countries gathered yesterday—just as they did two weeks ago—at the closed borders to demand that they be opened. There were particularly many gatherings along the German-Czech border. A map of all gatherings can be found at www.hej-nachbar.de. A press release was also published,

In the Elbe/Labe Euroregion, the gathering took place between Špičák and Oelsen. This time, about 120 people participated. There was singing, talking, eating, drinking, sunbathing... Police on the Czech side were present but did not intervene.

Both Saxon and Czech television were present this time:
