Political pressure prompts action from the CSD Solingen e.V. board.
The Cologne Free Democrats (FDP) have made a demand to discontinue the use of the term "Klingenpride" in the future. This call comes in the wake of the recent terror attack on Fronhof in Solingen.
Patrick Baron, the chairman of the Solingen association, issued a press statement regarding this demand. The association is also considering changes to other events such as the 'Zoeppekesmarkt', 'Klingenstadt Solingen', and 'Klingenlauf'.
However, the CSD Solingen e.V. association, organisers of the "Klingenpride" event, have stated that they do not plan to make decisions about event names without involving the city and other organisers in the discussion. They are considering engaging in dialogue with other organisers and the city about potential changes.
The association is also planning to think together with the city about how to deal with important issues, including unity following the terror attack. Many board members and members of the CSD Solingen e.V. association were present at the festival before the attack.
The CSD Solingen e.V. association supports the city's mayor's call for calm and was fortunately only indirectly affected by the terror attack. They are still affected, sad, and in shock due to the incident.
A link to a news article reporting the demand by the Cologne Free Democrats can be found at this location.
The association is also planning to discuss how to ensure unity in the city following the terror attack. They wish to promote calm in the city before discussing and deciding on changes. The CSD Solingen e.V. association is also considering whether to change the name of their main event, 'Klingenpride'.
The mayor of Solingen, who is referenced in relation to the CSD Solingen e.V. board distancing themselves from the FDP's call to abolish the "Klingenpride" event, is not explicitly named in the provided search results.
