DOK Leipzig Sagt Nein zu Legida
Look at the photo – it says Pasanen down in the corner on a name tag, Leena is the first name, she is the new director of the DokLeipzig that starts October 26 and runs until November 1st. She presided a press conference yesterday in Leipzig and apart from presenting the programme of this year, with several novelties, she also had to comment on politics, and she did that perfectly, read her statement:
“It annoys me that the Legida manifestation is taking place during the opening of our festival, when hundreds of international festival guests are arriving. Not only because it’s going to be more difficult to come to the Opening Ceremony or free screening in the Main Station. But also because Legida is not representing the atmosphere in Leipzig. No matter how loud they shout, DOK Leipzig will bring diversity and tolerance to Leipzig.”
