AfD canceled the election campaign event in Dresden due to severe weather warning
The alternative for Germany (AfD) canceled its planned campaign ending event on June 2 in Dresden due to a strong severe weather warning.
The AfD wanted to present its positions and goals again before the upcoming federal election. However, due to the severe weather warning, the party decided to ensure the safety of the participants and to cancel the event.
Local effects and context
The cancellation of the event due to severe weather warnings is a common procedure to ensure the safe of the participants. Storm in Dresden can have a strong impact, especially in the form of storm, hail and heavy rain.
It is known that Dresden has already been severely affected by storms in the past. A tragic example of this is the flood in 2002, which caused large parts of the city flooded and caused enormous damage. Since then, extensive flood protection measures have been taken in the city to minimize future damage. Nevertheless, due to its geographical location on the Elbe, Dresden remains susceptible to heavy rain and storm.
Table:
| Date | Event | Effects |
| ———– | —————- | --—————————
| 2002 | Flood | Flood, great damage |
| July 2010 | Heavy rain | Floods in the city center |
| June 2013 | Flood | Flood of the Elbe meadows |
| August 2017 | Storm | Storm and hail damage |
In such cases, it is important that the organizers react early to severe weather warnings and take the necessary precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the participants.
The cancellation of the AfD event in Dresden shows that political parties also feel committed to the security of their followers. Severe weather warnings should be taken seriously and corresponding protective measures are taken to avoid potential accidents and injuries.
It remains to be seen whether the AfD will make up for its election campaign ending event at a later date as soon as the weather is safer. In the meantime, the election campaign activities of the party in Dresden and other parts of Germany are expected to continue to convince the citizens of their political goals.
