Several thousand people from all over the country took part in the traditional Easter marches on Saturday. According to the Peace Cooperative Network, the largest gathering took place in Berlin. The police counted up to 3,500 participants there. According to officials, about 1,500 people protested in Stuttgart, 850 in Munich and 400 in Cologne. There were significantly smaller demonstrations in many other cities.
He was “satisfied with his participation,” network spokesman Kristian Golla told the AFP news agency. The total number of participants was at the level of previous years.
More demonstrations on Easter Monday
The central Easter March office in Frankfurt am Main spoke of a “growing number of participants”. “There is a relatively stable peace movement,” spokesperson Willi van Ooyen told the AFP news agency. All initiatives involved in the Easter marches are very satisfied.
Demands for a ceasefire in Ukraine and a halt to arms deliveries were the focus of the decentralized meetings in many places. Other topics included the war between Israel and the radical Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas and the topic of disarmament in general.
More than a hundred activities were announced nationally on Saturday. The first, often smaller, events had already taken place on Thursday and Friday, but the Saturday before Easter is traditionally the first highlight of the annual Easter marches. Further demonstrations are planned for Easter Monday. (AFP)
