"Kristian Golla, spokesperson for the Network of the German Peace Movement, stated that about 20 of the demos will include speakers who intend to address the issue of conscription. The war in Ukraine has proved divisive among Germans, even among members of the peace movement."
"Golla emphasized that there was, sadly, no shortage of reasons why the peace marches are still relevant today. 'Whether it's Ukraine and Russia, the Gulf region, Israel and Palestine, or the bombing of Iran - those will be the essential issues for the Easter marches, and of course the strengthening of international law.'"
The German peace movement is organizing traditional Easter peace marches from April 2 to 6, with over a hundred events planned nationwide. Activities include 'Bikes for Peace' tours, concerts, and speeches on various conflicts such as those in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran. The recent re-introduction of military service has mobilized young people, leading to school strikes. Speakers at the marches will address conscription and its implications. The relevance of the marches is underscored by ongoing global conflicts and the need for strengthening international law.
