On Saturday, thousands joined Easter marches across approximately 70 locations in Germany, a tradition reviving calls for peace since the 1960s. Organized by Netwerk Friedenskooperative, the demonstrations target the incoming German government, urging a shift towards disarmament and diplomacy instead of military spending. This year's focus highlights issues like the Ukraine war, conflicts in Gaza, and opposition to US missile deployment in Germany, with participation reportedly higher than past years, showing increasing public concern for global peace and security.
"Instead of taking on new debt and spending several billions of euros on arms, disarmament agreements and clever diplomacy are needed to end Russia's war on Ukraine."
"Attendance has been slightly higher than in previous years, indicating a growing concern among the public for peace amid ongoing global conflicts."
