Authorities and the auto industry fear this year a „new quality“ of protests against the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Calls for „militant“ resistance surfaced on the internet, reported the „Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung“ („FAS“). The group Sand in gear prepares the blockade of the fair to block the public access.
„Surprises“ announced
Nationwide organizations called the left-autonomous scene on the disturbance of the IAA and met in the run-up to the „action training“, the newspaper reported. A spokeswoman for sand in the transmission announced in the „FAS“ „surprises“ for car companies and trade fair visitors. She expects „several hundred“ participants in an IAA blockade: „It should be enough to paralyze the fair.“
The car companies represented at the fair were startled, the newspaper reported. They are already in „close exchange with the security authorities“, as loud „FAS“ about to hear from VW. The fair starts in mid-September. It takes place every two years.
