Tensions Rise Over Einsiedeln Protests

Published: 2025-02-23

Einsiedeln, Switzerland, is set to witness a heated day of protests on Saturday.

A demonstration against the political right, targeting local AfD politician Alice Weidel, has been approved by authorities.

However, a counter-protest by the group Massvoll, led by Nicolas Rimoldi, has been denied due to safety concerns.

Despite the ban, Massvoll insists on proceeding, accusing authorities of bias.

The police have warned that any unauthorized gatherings will be dispersed.

The situation has sparked debates about freedom of expression and public safety, with traffic disruptions expected in the area.
