Protests in Düsseldorf called off; organizers urge citizens to exercise their vote and choose compassion.

The Christopher Street Day (CSD) Düsseldorf association had announced a demonstration on February 22, 2025, from Burgplatz to Schadowplatz, aimed at signifying the queer community and encouraging voting. However, due to serious threats of vehicle attacks, the demonstration had to be cancelled by the board chairman, Kalle Wahle, to ensure the safety of the participants.

The LGBTIQ+ community encourages eligible voters to exercise their right to vote, urging them to choose a democratic party that positions against the right and for tolerance. The political party recommended by the community to vote against right-wing extremism and for tolerance in the Bundestag elections on February 23, 2025, is not explicitly named in the provided search results.

A report has been filed, and the police and state protection are investigating the threats. The community's message remains "Go vote and vote for love!".

Despite the cancellation of the February 22, 2025 demonstration, the traditional CSD Düsseldorf will still take place. This year's event will occur from June 19 to 22, with the motto "Love connects - hate destroys!". The CSD Düsseldorf will take place at locations other than Burgplatz and Schadowplatz.

More information about the June 2025 CSD Düsseldorf can be found at this link. The community looks forward to coming together in June to celebrate love and diversity.
