The Freie Wahler/Independent Citizens’ Pforzheim municipal council group is also behind the request that the synagogue square be used “in its entirety” “only for memorial events for the city of Pforzheim and the Jewish community,” according to the group in a press release. This was reported to the head of the Jewish community, Rami Suleiman, and the parliamentary bloc of the Christian Democratic Union. The The CDU faction made a “declaration of intent” with five other factions in the municipal council Mayor Peter Bush was asked not to allow further demonstrations in the synagogue’s courtyard.

However, the invitation to sign the declaration of intent was refused to respond because the parliamentary group said the draft declaration of intent was “misleading”. According to the platoon, the text says “in the square of the synagogue” and “in connection with the surrounding streets”, “there is no way to prevent demonstrations.” Demonstrations in the city must be registered and “approved”; If “anti-state, anti-democratic or inflammatory slogans” are seen or heard during demonstrations, it is a matter of state security or “may not be approved again.”
