Attempts at intimidation against the A-Days in Munich/Ebersberg

Today, October 2nd, 2026, the start of the A-Days took place in Munich and Ebersberg. As planned, the program began at 4 p.m. in the JuZ Ebersberg. The program included various lectures and a workshop.

But as soon as they arrived at Ebersberg train station, the first participants noticed an unusually large number of cops at the train station. Around 6-7 tanks of USK and riot police were available to subject all people who stood out because of their rather alternative appearance (in addition to the usual Lederhosen zombies) to an extensive check. In some cases the cops were positioned in such a way that no one could leave the station without having to pass them. In addition to checking their personal details, those checked were meticulously searched; some people were forced to take off their shoes. The reason given for the whole thing was that “a dangerous situation could arise here.”

Cops were also present in the parking lot in front of the JuZ and the shopping center. Especially in the immediate area of ​​the JuZ, there was at times such a massive presence that it was briefly impossible to enter the JuZ without control and the threat scenario of a storm was created.

It is estimated that throughout the afternoon and evening there were around 10 6-person vans traveling around the city to criminalize alleged anarchists.

We strongly condemn this attempt at intimidation and the completely disproportionate collection of personal data on the suspicion of attending a lecture on political education!

However, we do not allow ourselves to be impressed by the increasingly authoritarian development of the state, which is clearly evident here.

Especially when young, politically interested people who want to attend an event are harassed in this way and are prevented from discussing alternatives to the current war and crisis politics by a completely excessive police presence and arbitrary searches, then this shows us above all that such events are more important than ever.

In a certain way, we feel honored by the priorities of a police force that otherwise constantly complains about being understaffed. Apparently there are enough staff to monitor a Powerpoint presentation in a youth center while Oktoberfest is going on at the same time.

On that note, see you soon! We won't be intimidated!
