Peace Rally by Far-Left Organizations Held in Berlin
Berlin, October 4, 2024 - Yesterday, approximately 40,000 people gathered in Berlin for a peace rally organized by various far-left organizations. The demonstrators called for an end to Germany’s arms shipments to Ukraine and demanded Germany’s withdrawal from NATO1.
The rally, held on German Unity Day, saw participants carrying banners with slogans such as “Never Again War.” This day marks the anniversary of the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. The protesters urged the German government to pursue diplomatic solutions instead of military interventions1.
Several prominent politicians addressed the crowd, including Sahra Wagenknecht, leader of the BSW political alliance. She criticized the current German stance on the Ukraine conflict and advocated for negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin1. Wagenknecht expressed her frustration with those who oppose dialogue with Russia on moral grounds, warning against the dangers of escalating military tensions1.
The rally concluded peacefully, with Berlin police reporting no incidents of violence or unrest. The event also saw expressions of solidarity with the people of Gaza, highlighting the broader anti-war sentiment among the participants1.
This significant turnout reflects growing public discontent with Germany’s foreign policy and a strong desire for peaceful resolutions to international conflicts.
