On May 8, 2021, a game of cat and mouse took place between the police and the demonstrators in Aarau. After several hours, the police were able to encircle the demonstration on Bahnhofstrasse. As negotiations between the police and the demonstrators took place, we press photographers suddenly heard cheers: The police cordon had unexpectedly been released, and the demonstrators were moving toward us, confident of victory.
