A few weeks before the highlight of the carnival season, both the jesters and the police in Saxony feel well prepared. "The police are in close contact with the local authorities and organizers, depending on the local and regional situation," the Saxon Ministry of the Interior said in response to a request. Especially after the attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market, the security concept has become a focal point for many carnival clubs.
According to the President of the Saxon Carnival Association, Jörg Weiser, there may have been minor adjustments to the security concept for individual parades, but security has always been a central issue. Major changes were therefore not necessary. "We don't have huge parades like Cologne, Mainz or Düsseldorf," explained Weiser.
