Call For Peace

Despite the rainy weather, quite a few Berliners still turned out for the annual peace demonstration held on August 1 in Mitte. Due to the weather, the peace bike ride—which had been planned as a bicycle parade from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. — was canceled. Under the slogan

• CALL FOR PEACE – THERE ARE MANY OF US!
• Enough is enough! The global warmongering must come to an end.
• Let’s build peace without weapons!

The participants had brought along many banners they had made themselves. Speakers at both the opening and closing rallies, each held at the Brandenburg Gate, included:

• Jürgen Todenhöfer,
• Gabriele Gysi,
• Alexander King,
• Barbara Majd Amin,
• as well as participants who joined via video link.

Activists from Aktion Freiheit statt Angst who took part in the demonstration once again distributed many flyers. Our flyer on the EUDI wallet, which is set to be introduced in the EU starting in 2027, was particularly well-received. Many people expressed that they do not want to be deprived of the ability to pay with cash. In this context, we were able to point out efforts, for example in Norway, to legally guarantee the acceptance of cash.
