The demonstrators march through the city with white wooden crosses. The organization “EuroProLife” has called for the event – they had already organized numerous similar marches across Europe in the past.
Final rally at Odeonsplatz
At the counter-demonstration, among other things, the “Antisexist Action Munich” is formed, which is “against the patriarchy and its fans”.
After the opening rally, the demonstration continues on Prinzregentenstrasse. Other stops are Von-der-Tann-Strasse and Ludwigstrasse. The final rally is then at the equestrian monument on Odeonsplatz. “So far there have been no special incidents,” a police spokesman said.
