After the attack in Berlin Street Parade and Prides: What about security?

Following a terrorist attack during the Christopher Street Day parade in Berlin, Swiss organizers of large events such as the Street Parade and Pride demonstrations are reassessing their security measures. The attack has heightened concerns about safety at similar gatherings in Switzerland. Alessandra Widmer of the lesbian organization LOS stated that the LGBTQ+ community in Switzerland is increasingly experiencing violence, leading to more detailed security plans for events like the Bern Pride. Zurich Pride, which faced past threats, has maintained close cooperation with police and authorities to prevent attacks. The upcoming Street Parade in Zurich, expected to attract around 800,000 attendees, will incorporate the recent developments in Germany into its ongoing risk assessment.
