Germany's Peace Movement Rallies for Easter Marches Amid War Concerns

Germany's long-standing peace movement prepares for its annual Easter protests, facing challenges from the war in Ukraine and potential military conscription.
Germany's peace movement is mobilizing for its traditional Easter peace marches, with the ongoing war in Ukraine and the possibility of reinstating conscription causing unease among the German populace. These annual demonstrations, a fixture in the country's political landscape for decades, are set to take place against the backdrop of a dramatically changed security environment.
