Arno Bausemer stated:
“It is alarming that patriotic engagement in our country is increasingly being met with threats and vandalism. Anyone who tries to suppress other opinions with violence has long since abandoned the democratic rules of the game.
We will not be intimidated. The event will take place—as a clear signal against left-wing opinion terror. We continue to stand by our political mandate, remain accessible to citizens, and are resolutely continuing our patriotic course. Our goal is a Germany and a Europe in which debates can be conducted freely.”
