The unprecedented operation of the German police to secure the security conference in Munich

According to Tasnim International News Group, German newspaper “Stuttgarter Nakhreshten” wrote in an article: The organizers of the Munich Security Conference expect the number of participants in the 60th anniversary of this conference to be unprecedented in Germany. This also leads to an operation on an unprecedented scale for the police.

Thus, due to the record number of participants and the expansion of the security area at the 60th Munich Security Conference, the police are planning a major operation with More than 5000 troops. This year, for the first time, the conference will be held not only in the Bayerischer Hof hotel, but also in the adjacent Rosewood Hotel Munich. Michael Dybowski, deputy chief of the Munich police, said at a press conference on Tuesday that the expansion of the conference venue required an increase in the security area. According to him, in addition to the Munich police, the federal police and officers from other federal states will also be deployed to ensure the safety of the conference participants and the crowd. 3 pm, two security zones will be established around the hotels. Accordingly, in narrower areas, only authorized persons will have access. Due to the holding of this conference, there will be disruptions in local transportation. Several tram lines have to be cut. Also, a no-parking zone will be established in and around the safety zone. In addition, short-term traffic disruptions are expected due to transfer trips for conference participants. Officials inform about this on social networks. In addition, a no-fly zone for drones with a radius of 5.5 kilometers will be enforced around Sendlinger-Tor-Platz during the event.

More than 50 government leaders, around 60 ministers, according to police. Foreign Affairs, more than 25 defense ministers and a large number of other political representatives are expected to attend the conference. As of Tuesday, about 18 demonstrations have been reported in the area around this event. Several marches are expected on Saturday, with a total of more than 7,000 participants, according to organizers.

Munich’s deputy police spoke of an “increased abstract risk” due to the geopolitical situation. At the same time, he said: “However, there is no information about specific threats.” “>Germany’s request to strengthen security cooperation in Europe
