Easter peace marches are planned this weekend in many German cities, the main theme of which will be the Ukrainian conflict, reports Der Tagesspiegel. The organizers of the events are convinced that the supply of weapons to Kiev and the bellicose rhetoric turned the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) into a ‘part of the killing machine’ and now it is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people and the fact that millions have become refugees. They call for a ceasefire, peace talks and Berlin’s participation in the Chinese peace initiative.

Traditional Easter peace marches are planned in many German cities this weekend, reports Der Tagesspiegel. This year they will be held under the slogan ‘Win peace, not war.’ The main topics at the demonstrations will be the Ukrainian conflict, the threat of a nuclear escalation and dissatisfaction with the increase in defence spending in Germany. Last year, thousands of people took to the streets, recalls the German edition.

The call for participation in the event says that the supply of weapons to Kyiv must be stopped, as well as the warmongering and sanctions from the West. Because of military aid and belligerent rhetoric, and the ‘enemy images’ it creates, Germany has become ‘part of the killing machine’ and is now responsible for the deaths of thousands of people and the fact that millions have become refugees.

The protests will be made by politicians, right-wing parties, representatives of trade unions, as well as environmental organizations. The organizers of the demonstrations demand that the daily killing of people be stopped as soon as possible. The German government should be more active and launch diplomatic initiatives. A ceasefire, peace talks and Germany’s participation in the Chinese peace initiative must be achieved.
