People in Leipzig must be prepared for traffic restrictions in the coming days. The reason for this is the Minister Presidents' Conference (MPK), which begins in the trade fair city on Wednesday evening, according to the police. Accordingly, corresponding security measures will also have an impact on the population. In addition, the preliminary round of the Champions League soccer match between RB Leipzig and Liverpool FC will take place on Wednesday evening.
The Free State of Bavaria took over the chairmanship of the MPK from Hesse at the beginning of October. The kick-off event will take place in Leipzig up to and including Friday. According to the police, extensive protective and traffic measures are required for this, which will particularly affect the districts of Zentrum, Zentrum-Nordwest (Zoo) and Altlindenau.
