The community is at the center of the discussion. - Multitudes of people gathered at the Dresden CSD.

Because of the warning from far-right groups saying they'll disrupt the arrival of people at the main train station, a quick shuttle demonstration was organized by the Coordination Committee. A truck brought people from the main train station to Altmarkt. The police informed that around 90 members from the far-right groups had gathered at the main train station on Saturday morning. The officers recognized them and kept them under surveillance.

Right around 2:30 p.m., a rally began, standing against the Christopher Street Day. Most of the participants belonged to the same far-right group that was briefly arrested by the police in the morning. An investigation is going on against one participant for using signs of unconstitutional organizations. The 22-year-old had tattoos containing unconstitutional symbols, according to the police. So far, the situation remains peaceful, with approximately 120 police officers present.

The CSD event in Dresden took place for its 31st time. It was held under the slogan "100% Human - Without If and But!". Numerous visitors attended the traditional political street festival of the CSD on Thursday and Friday. The demonstration on Saturday is forecasted to finish around 4 p.m.
